Property Planning & Consulting Service Agreement
This Property Planning & Consulting Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) is entered into between Mount Meeker Dream Home Advocate (“Mount Meeker”) and the individual or entity identified as the client (“Client”).
The Agreement becomes effective when the Client accepts these terms through the online acknowledgment provided on the Mount Meeker website and, where applicable, submits payment for the selected services (the “Effective Date”).
1. SERVICES PROVIDED
Mount Meeker provides property planning, land-use research, permitting assistance, project coordination, and related consulting services as specifically described in the Client’s proposal, service selection, invoice, or other written description of services.
Services may include one or more of the following:
Initial Property Review
A preliminary digital assessment of the property’s available public records, legal status, zoning, and other readily available information relevant to the Client’s proposed project.
Phase 1: Project Planning
Preparation of a Building Lot Report or similar planning document identifying applicable land-use regulations, zoning requirements, environmental considerations, development restrictions, and other relevant municipal or county requirements identified during the research process.
Phase 2: Permit Processing
Assistance with permit preparation and processing, including document coordination, application support, tracking, and communication with applicable planning, building, or permitting departments.
Mount Meeker may assist the Client in communicating with governmental agencies but does not represent the Client as legal counsel or guarantee any governmental approval, permit issuance, variance, or other governmental decision.
Phase 3: Construction Coordination
Independent, observational site visits at agreed-upon project milestones to review visible project progress and provide the Client with observations, photographs, and/or progress updates.
These site visits are intended to provide general project coordination and observational information. They are not intended to constitute a contractor’s quality-control program, structural inspection, engineering inspection, architectural inspection, or guarantee of workmanship or code compliance.
Mount Meeker does not direct the means, methods, sequences, procedures, or safety practices of the contractor or other construction professionals.
2. SCOPE OF SERVICES
Mount Meeker’s responsibilities are limited to the specific services identified in the Client’s proposal, service selection, invoice, or other written scope of work.
Services not specifically identified in the agreed scope are not included.
If the Client requests additional services, Mount Meeker may provide a revised scope and fee for those services before beginning the additional work.
3. FEES AND PAYMENT
Client agrees to pay the fee associated with the selected service or phase before Mount Meeker begins the applicable research, document preparation, coordination, or other work, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Fees are based on the scope of services identified at the time of engagement.
Unless otherwise stated in writing, fees are non-refundable once substantive work, research, document preparation, coordination, or other services have commenced.
Additional services or material changes to the agreed scope may result in additional fees, which will be communicated to the Client before the additional work is performed whenever reasonably possible.
4. CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Client agrees to provide accurate and complete information reasonably necessary for Mount Meeker to perform the agreed services, including, when applicable:
● Property address
● Parcel Identification Number (PIN)
● Legal description
● Existing plans, surveys, reports, or other relevant documents
● Information regarding the proposed project
● Contact information for the Client’s architect, contractor, engineer, designer, or other project professionals
Mount Meeker may rely on information provided by the Client and by governmental agencies, consultants, contractors, and other third parties.
Mount Meeker is not responsible for errors, delays, or incomplete results caused by inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or unavailable information.
5. GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS AND THIRD-PARTY INFORMATION
Mount Meeker may research applicable regulations and assist the Client in navigating governmental processes. However, zoning authorities, planning departments, building departments, governmental agencies, and other third parties retain sole authority over their respective decisions and requirements.
Mount Meeker does not guarantee the approval, issuance, timing, or outcome of any permit, variance, zoning determination, development approval, inspection, or other governmental action.
Information obtained from governmental agencies, public records, contractors, consultants, or other third parties may change or may contain errors. Mount Meeker will make reasonable efforts to identify and communicate relevant information but does not guarantee the completeness or accuracy of information supplied by third parties.
6. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES NOT PROVIDED
Mount Meeker provides property planning and consulting services and does not provide legal, architectural, structural engineering, civil engineering, land surveying, or other licensed professional services unless separately authorized and performed by an appropriately licensed professional.
Mount Meeker does not prepare architectural blueprints, structural engineering designs, stamped plans, legal opinions, legal documents, land surveys, or engineering certifications.
When a project requires services outside Mount Meeker’s scope or professional qualifications, the Client is responsible for engaging the appropriate licensed professional.
7. CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS AND CONTRACTORS
Unless specifically agreed otherwise in writing, Mount Meeker is not the Client’s general contractor, subcontractor, architect, engineer, or construction manager.
The contractor and other construction professionals retained by the Client remain responsible for their own work, workmanship, means and methods of construction, scheduling, job-site safety, personnel, materials, and compliance with their contractual obligations.
Mount Meeker’s observations or recommendations do not replace the responsibilities of the Client’s contractor, architect, engineer, or other licensed professional.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The information, reports, observations, and other deliverables provided by Mount Meeker are intended for property planning, project coordination, design guidance, and informational purposes based on the agreed scope of services.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Mount Meeker’s total cumulative liability arising out of or relating to a specific service engagement shall not exceed the total amount actually paid by the Client to Mount Meeker for that specific service.
Mount Meeker shall not be responsible for losses, delays, costs, or damages resulting from governmental decisions, contractor performance, third-party actions, inaccurate information supplied by others, or circumstances outside Mount Meeker’s reasonable control.
9. TERMINATION
Either party may terminate the Agreement upon written notice.
If the Client terminates the Agreement after Mount Meeker has begun performing services, the Client remains responsible for payment for services or phases that have been completed or substantially performed through the date of termination.
Any prepaid amount associated with work that has not yet commenced may be addressed according to the applicable scope of work, proposal, or written agreement between the parties.
10. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR
Mount Meeker is engaged as an independent consultant and is not an employee, partner, joint venturer, or agent of the Client.
Nothing in this Agreement creates a partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or fiduciary relationship between Mount Meeker and the Client.
11. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
The Agreement, together with the applicable proposal, scope of services, invoice, or other written service description accepted by the Client, constitutes the agreement between the parties concerning the services described therein.
Any changes to the scope or terms of the Agreement must be agreed to in writing.
