Commonly Asked Questions about California Construction Contracts

For a contract to be valid and recognized by the common law, it must include certain elements-- offer, acceptance, consideration, intention to create legal relations, authority and capacity, and certainty. Without these elements, a contract is not legally binding and may not be enforced by the courts.
Three rules generally accepted in construction of contracts are the plain meaning rule, the enforceability rule and the interpretation that favors the non-drafting party. The plain meaning rule states that the ordinary and prevailing usage will be applied to the words in the contract.
To that end, several key elements constitute contract formation; contract law is shaped by considerations of public policy, and parties involved, such as the offeror, must be aware of these legal principles. Those elements are offer, consideration, acceptance, and mutuality.
