BC homeowners, hire a contractor to do renovations on your property with this British Columbia Independent Contractor Agreement template.

This Independent Contractor Agreement template is designed specifically for property owners in BC who are looking to hire a contractor for renovation projects.

Scope of Contractor Services

The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary labor and materials required to complete the renovation work at the job site. This ensures that the property owner does not need to source materials or hire additional labor for the project.

Penalties and Bonuses Related to Project Timeline

To encourage timely completion, the agreement includes provisions for both penalties and bonuses. If the contractor fails to substantially complete the work by the agreed-upon completion date, they will be required to pay a penalty for each day the project remains unfinished. Conversely, if the contractor finishes the work ahead of schedule, the property owner will pay a bonus for each day the project is completed early.

Payment Terms and Interest on Overdue Amounts

The contractor is entitled to receive interest at the specified rate for any overdue payments owed by the property owner. This clause helps ensure prompt payment and fair compensation for completed work.

Insurance and Indemnification

The contractor warrants that they are fully insured, providing peace of mind to the property owner regarding potential risks. Additionally, the contractor agrees to indemnify the owner against any claims or losses that may arise during the course of the project.

Template Availability and Customization

The British Columbia Independent Contractor Agreement template is provided in Microsoft Word format. It can be easily edited to accommodate the specific needs and circumstances of each renovation project.
