Agreement between Client and Legacy Estate Homes We understand there is often a reluctance to contract for consulting services because there is the fear that it is giving the consultant a "blank check". That is not the case here. The agreement below is structured so the cost of each level of service is clearly defined. No surprises. Furthermore, for any work that can not be concretely defined - such as revisions or travel time - the charges will be limited to your pre-determined maximum cost and will not be exceeded without your written authorization. And finally, if you are not satisfied with the preliminary renderings, you may cancel the remainder of the agreement.
