Checking Contracts

NOTE-- In 2000 we retired the MacNail construction software package. Goldenseal is the successor-- it's a complete software package for Macintosh and Windows that handles contract writing, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management, The construction contracts produced by Goldenseal are very similar to those from MacNail Spec Writer.

Double Checking Your Construction Contracts

Once you have created a new contract or subcontract with the MacNail project management software, read it over carefully to make sure you haven't accidentally missed anything important, or included anything that shouldn't be there.

If your contract is based on an estimate from the MacNail construction estimating software, proof-reading the contract gives you one last chance to make sure you didn't overlook anything important in the original construction bid.

When checking the contract from the MacNail construction management software, you can also catch error messages (see page 61) and other problems.
