Our Building Contracts Give Protection and Clarity

A building contract helps protect both you and your contractor by clearly setting out the scope of work, costs, timescales, and responsibilities.

Without a clear contract, misunderstandings, unexpected costs, delays, and disputes are more likely during the project.

What A Building Contract Typically Includes:

• Scope of works and project details
• Agreed costs and payment schedule
• Start and completion dates
• Responsibilities of each party
• Insurance and liability requirements
• Defects and snagging arrangements
• Procedures for delays or disputes

A contract can be difficult to understand. They provide for numerous situations and use industry terminology you may not have knowledge of.

A Clear Surveys Contract Comes With Clarity And Security

Having the right contract in place helps your project run smoothly, keeps expectations clear, and gives you greater peace of mind throughout the build. Importantly, it protects you if anything doesn’t go to plan.

We will prepare for you a detailed JCT contract. This is regarded as the ‘gold standard’ of building contracts in the UK.

You will fully understand the contract, and have input. We take the time to include you in the drafting process, covering the considerations listed above. We’ll provide you and the contractor with a Head of Terms document for you to check and approve.

The contract is typically administered by a competent Contract Administrator to ensure the project runs correctly and the contract is adhered to.

The result is a bespoke contract, not just a template, that protects your interests, gives you peace of mind and removes uncertainty.
