What if your contractor just isn’t cutting it and needs to be fired?

The A102-2017 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor (yes, again) has a termination fee included in it. Why? Some contractors will have a clause in their contract where if fired, they get paid up to the termination AND what they would have made in profit and overhead had they completed the job. WHHAAA??? Yep. If your contractor does have that clause included, I recommend you change it out for an agreed upon termination fee which is included in the A102-2017 Standard Form of Agreement Between Owner and Contractor.
