QUICK LINKS
Question 21
For large or complex projects, a standard form of building contract that requires a contract administrator is definitely the recommended route to follow. Discount Plans LTD can of course also perform this task for you.
For many domestic projects however, people regard this approach as rather over the top and simply resort to working things out directly with the builder. If you follow this route, the drawings that Discount Plans LTD provide you with will help to define what it is the builder has agreed to build. Nonetheless, it is very important that before your builder starts work, you have a written agreement stating the work to be done, the price agreed and the time scale involved. There is a very simple standard form of contract agreement now available that has been specifically designed for such circumstances called 'JCT Building Contract for a Home owner/Occupier'. It is easy to read and covers most of the important areas.
Some important things to remember:
• hours of working: how many days a week, what time they start and finish
• use of facilities & services: toilet facilities, water supply, electricity, telephone etc.
• access and storage: agree where the builders can store their materials and how they should come in and out of the building, who holds keys etc.
• regular meetings: it is good to agree to meet formally to discuss progress every week or fortnight.
• foreman: agree whether you will have a full time foreman on your project from start to finish - this is generally a good thing but might make the price more expensive.
• additions and extras: agree how any additions or changes that you might want after work has started would be agreed and priced.
• over running: agree what happens if the work takes longer than the builder has indicated up front.
• payment schedule: the best way is to agree a timetable of payments that goes with the timetable of completed works
