Why use Contract Builder online

Nothing to install

Contract Builder runs in a modern browser on desktop, tablet and phone. Open it in a tab and start; there is nothing to download or update.

Your work stays yours

Anything you save is stored in your account, can be exported, and is not sold.

Part of the business toolkit

Quotes, invoices, receipts and contracts in the same account share one business profile and one client list, so your logo, address and clients are entered once.

More about Contract Builder

The jobs that go wrong are almost never the ones with a signed scope. They are the ones where everybody was being agreeable in an email thread and nobody wrote down what "done" meant. A contract is not about distrust, it is about the two of you agreeing on the same picture before money changes hands.

How it works

Rather than handing you a blank page, the builder assembles a document from clauses: scope, schedule, deposit, payment plan, changes to the work, cancellation, ownership of the finished work, confidentiality, warranty, liability limits and more. Pick the type of agreement, tick the clauses that apply, and the form only asks for the blanks those clauses actually use. Any blank you have not filled is highlighted in the preview, and the document reads as one coherent agreement rather than a stack of pasted paragraphs. Your business details come from your brand profile and the client's from your client list.

Twelve starting points

  • Service, consulting, subcontractor and independent contractor agreements, with a deposit and a payment plan where you need them
  • Work and home improvement agreements for trades, with change-order handling, a materials clause and a workmanship warranty
  • Creative and design services, where who owns the final files is the thing that causes arguments
  • Maintenance and retainer agreements, where the monthly scope needs a defined edge
  • Mutual and one-way NDAs for conversations that happen before any of the above, plus an equipment rental, a bill of sale and a payment plan agreement

Signing

The finished contract downloads as a PDF or a Word file, or prints straight from the preview. If you want it signed digitally, the PDF Sign tool takes the PDF from there. Saved contracts stay in your list, so you can reopen one, change a clause and export it again.

This is not legal advice

Worth saying plainly: this generates a document, it does not give you a lawyer. The clauses are written in plain language and drafted around ordinary small-business work in Canada, but a contract that carries real risk deserves a real review. For a $2,000 job, this is far better than nothing, and nothing is what most people currently use. For a $200,000 job, pay someone.
