The following data pertains to the said contract each customer is to sign. Each house costs $4,000,000 each (a total of 10 houses are to be constructed). Construction will take 2 years to complete. Payment terms are 50% by the end of the 1st year, 25% at the end of the 2nd year and the balance will be paid after 3 months from the final turn-over. The client can transfer the contract to another, should they not feel satisfied with the house on or before the house is 50% complete.
