I’m about to sign a contract with a GC for a full renovation of my four-story, 1874 brownstone. My architect simply wants to use the standard AIA form and doesn’t feel anything extra needs to be added. I’m not sure I agree. I would love to know what people who have already gone through this process suggest.

Also, what percentage deposit have people given with these types of contracts? And what do you think is an appropriate deposit.

Many thanks for your comments.
