Creating Construction Contracts

NOTE-- We retired MacNail in 2000. and replaced it with Goldenseal-- a complete software package that handles construction spec writing, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management, This manual is still online as a courtesy to die-hard MacNail users! There are many similarities between Goldenseal Contracts and the MacNail Spec Writer, but we managed to make it much simpler when we moved off the Excel spreadsheet program.

Introduction to Creating Contracts

The MacNail project management software will make contract and subcontract documents using stock clauses, header and footer files, and the detailed Specifications from any estimate.

This chapter shows you the basic steps to take when using the MacNail construction management software to put together a contract, subcontract or spec sheet.
