Utah's New Optional Residential Construction Agreement Now Available
Posted June 9, 2025
DOPL and its sister agency, the Utah Division of Consumer Protection often receive complaints about violations of construction work, then learn that no agreement exists or the agreement lacks the specificity to make clear what the expectations are under the contract. DOPL created this contract to assist homeowners and contractors, but it is still up to the parties to protect themselves through the terms of the contract and the specificity of the contract terms.
The Residential Construction Agreement is intended for contractors and homeowners to use for residential construction projects in Utah. While it is optional, it is recommended that if you use it both parties read, understand, complete, and sign each page. This agreement is provided “as-is” however it can be customized to your specific needs. This agreement is not intended as legal or professional advice, and any questions regarding the agreement or its effects should be directed to an attorney.
