Terms and Conditions

Last updated: June 8, 2026

These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern the relationship between Ultimate Development LLC (“Ultimate Development,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and our clients (“you” or “Client”) in connection with residential and commercial construction, remodeling, and design-build services performed in Illinois. By engaging our services or executing a project proposal, you agree to these Terms.

1. Services

Ultimate Development provides design, general contracting, and construction management services including but not limited to: full home renovations, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basement finishing, new construction, and commercial tenant improvements. The specific scope of work for each project is defined in a written Proposal and/or Contract executed by both parties.

2. Estimates and Proposals

All estimates and proposals are based on information available at the time of preparation. Written proposals are valid for 30 days from the date of issuance unless otherwise noted. Estimates are not guaranteed final pricing; final contract value is established upon execution of a signed contract and may be subject to change as described in Section 4 below.

Proposals do not constitute a binding contract until both parties have signed a written agreement and an initial deposit has been received by Ultimate Development.

3. Project Contract

Each project is governed by a separate written contract (“Project Contract”) which will specify: the scope of work, project timeline, payment schedule, materials specifications, and any special conditions. In the event of a conflict between these Terms and a Project Contract, the Project Contract shall govern.

4. Payment Terms

Payment is structured on a milestone basis as set forth in the Project Contract. Typical milestones include:

  • Initial Deposit: Due upon contract execution (typically 25–35% of project value)
  • Progress Payments: Due at defined construction milestones
  • Final Payment: Due upon substantial completion

Payments are due within 5 business days of invoice. Late payments are subject to a 1.5% monthly finance charge. Ultimate Development reserves the right to suspend work on any project where payment is more than 10 days past due.

5. Change Orders

Any modification to the agreed scope of work must be documented in a written Change Order signed by both parties before work begins. Change Orders may affect the project price, timeline, or both. Verbal authorizations or emails do not constitute an approved Change Order unless followed by a written and signed Change Order document.

We will not be responsible for costs associated with work performed outside the written scope of work without an executed Change Order.

6. Project Timeline

Estimated project timelines are provided in good faith but are subject to change due to factors beyond our control, including material availability and lead times, weather conditions, subcontractor scheduling, unforeseen site conditions discovered during construction, and permit delays from local authorities. We will communicate proactively about any material schedule changes.

7. Client Responsibilities

The Client agrees to:

  • Provide timely access to the project site during normal working hours
  • Make timely design selections and approvals to avoid schedule delays
  • Maintain homeowner’s insurance on the property throughout the project
  • Notify Ultimate Development of any known site conditions (asbestos, lead paint, structural concerns, easements, etc.)
  • Make timely payments as specified in the Project Contract

8. Permits and Inspections

Unless otherwise specified in the Project Contract, Ultimate Development will obtain all required building permits for the scope of work. The Client authorizes Ultimate Development to apply for permits on their behalf. Permit fees are typically included in the project price unless otherwise noted. All work will be performed to comply with applicable building codes and will be subject to required municipal inspections.

9. Subcontractors

Ultimate Development may engage licensed subcontractors to perform portions of the work. We are responsible for coordinating and supervising all subcontractors. All subcontractors are required to carry appropriate licenses and insurance.

10. Warranties

Ultimate Development warrants that all work will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with applicable building codes. Our labor warranty is one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Materials and equipment are subject to manufacturer warranties, which we will facilitate on the Client’s behalf.

This warranty does not cover damage resulting from Client modifications, misuse, lack of maintenance, or events beyond our control (fire, flood, acts of God). Warranty claims must be submitted in writing.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Illinois law, Ultimate Development’s total liability for any claim arising from or related to a project shall not exceed the total amount paid by the Client for that project. We shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of use, loss of income, or inconvenience.

12. Dispute Resolution

In the event of a dispute, the parties agree to first attempt resolution through good-faith negotiation. If negotiation is unsuccessful within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Cook County, Illinois. The prevailing party may be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees.

13. Governing Law

These Terms and all Project Contracts are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any legal proceedings not subject to arbitration shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Cook County, Illinois.

14. Illinois Contractor Disclosure

Ultimate Development LLC operates in compliance with the Illinois Home Repair and Remodeling Act (815 ILCS 513). For projects over $1,000, a written contract is required. Clients have the right to request a copy of our contractor’s license and liability insurance certificate prior to commencement of work.

16. Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. Continued engagement of our services after any change constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
