Free Fire Alarm Technician
Service Agreement
One faulty strobe or a missed ground fault can turn a profitable install into a million-dollar liability nightmare when the building burns. Without a locked-down agreement, you're one 'misunderstanding' away from the GC holding your final check hostage while your tools sit in hock.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a strict 'Limitation of Liability' clause to ensure a single equipment failure doesn't cost you more than the total value of the contract.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Fire Alarm Technician, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if the General Contractor expects me to fix existing bad wiring for free?
You point to your 'Existing Conditions' clause that states you only touch what's in the bid; anything else requires a signed change order before you strip a single wire.
How do I stop the client from withholding my final 20% while waiting for a Fire Marshal who is backed up for months?
Your contract must define 'Substantial Completion' as the moment the system is tested and functional, triggering payment regardless of the city's inspection schedule.
The site isn't ready for me but they want me to show up and 'figure it out.' How do I bill for that?
Use a 'Dry Run' or 'Mobilization Fee' clause in your agreement so if you show up and can't work because of their mess, you still get paid for the gas and the time.
