Construction Contracts
Professional contract preparation and guidance to protect all parties during the construction process.
Protect Your Project with the Right Contract
A well-drafted construction contract is essential for protecting all parties involved in a building project. Without one, disputes over scope, payment, delays and defects can escalate quickly and expensively. Our contract preparation service ensures you start your project with clear, fair documentation that defines responsibilities and provides mechanisms for resolving issues.
Our qualified Quantity Surveyors provide guidance on selecting the appropriate contract form for your project — whether that is a JCT Minor Works contract for a domestic extension, a JCT Intermediate contract for a larger project, or a bespoke agreement tailored to specific requirements.
We prepare contract documents, advise on key terms and conditions, and ensure that the contract accurately reflects the agreed scope of works, programme and pricing. Whether you are a homeowner engaging a builder, a developer managing multiple contractors, or a professional advising clients, proper contract documentation is an investment that pays for itself.

Common Questions
Construction Contracts FAQ
Yes. Even for domestic extensions and renovations, a written contract protects both the homeowner and the builder. It defines the scope of work, price, payment schedule, programme, and what happens if things go wrong.
Without a contract, resolving disputes becomes significantly more difficult and expensive. A proper contract is a small investment that can save thousands in the long run.
The right contract depends on your project. For domestic works under £500,000, the JCT Minor Works contract is often most appropriate. For larger or more complex projects, the JCT Intermediate or Standard Building Contract may be more suitable.

Yes. We can review existing contracts, identify any concerns or gaps, and advise on amendments. If a contractor has provided their own terms, we can assess whether they are fair and reasonable, and suggest changes to better protect your interests.
