Terms of Service

Last updated: March 15, 2026

These Terms of Service govern the contractual relationship between Canyon Construction Inc. ("Canyon Construction," "we," "us," or "Company") and clients who engage Canyon Construction for general contracting, construction management, design-build, renovation, or related construction services. By entering into a construction contract or agreement with Canyon Construction, you agree to these terms.

1. Scope of Work

All construction services will be defined in a written contract or proposal issued by Canyon Construction. The scope of work, project schedule, contract sum, and project specifications will be detailed in the construction agreement. Any work outside the approved scope requires a written Change Order executed by both parties prior to commencement of such work.

2. Payment Terms

Unless otherwise specified in the project contract, the following payment terms apply:

  • Deposit: A deposit (typically 10–20% of the contract sum) is due upon contract execution to secure scheduling and initiate pre-construction activities.
  • Progress Billing: Canyon Construction issues monthly AIA-format progress invoices based on the percentage of work completed. Payment is due within 15 calendar days of invoice date.
  • Retainage: Unless otherwise agreed, a retainage of 10% is withheld from each progress payment until Substantial Completion, at which point retainage is reduced to 0% upon approval of the final punch list.
  • Final Payment: Final payment is due upon project closeout, delivery of as-built drawings, and issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion.
  • Late Payments: Overdue balances accrue interest at 1.5% per month (18% per annum) from the due date.

3. Change Orders

Any change in the scope of work, materials, or project schedule must be documented in a formal Change Order signed by both Canyon Construction and the client. Canyon Construction will provide a written cost estimate and schedule impact for all proposed changes before work proceeds. Verbal authorizations do not constitute approval of a change order.

4. Warranties

Canyon Construction provides a one (1) year workmanship warranty on all work performed, commencing from the date of Substantial Completion. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship resulting from Canyon Construction's work. It does not cover damage from misuse, owner modifications, acts of nature, or normal wear and tear. Manufacturer warranties for installed products and equipment are passed through to the client.

5. Liens

Canyon Construction may file a Mechanic's Lien against the property in accordance with Florida Statute Chapter 713 in the event of non-payment. Canyon Construction will provide conditional lien waivers upon each progress payment and a final unconditional lien waiver upon receipt of final payment. Subcontractors and suppliers may also have lien rights.

6. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from this agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Disputes shall first be subject to mediation in Miami-Dade County, Florida. If mediation fails, disputes shall be resolved by binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Construction Industry Arbitration Rules. The prevailing party in any dispute shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorney's fees and costs.

7. Limitation of Liability

Canyon Construction's total liability for any claim arising from a project shall not exceed the total contract sum for that project. Canyon Construction is not liable for indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising from construction delays, defects, or other project-related claims, except as required by applicable Florida law.
