Explanatory Notes

This contract is designed for use by an individual home owner who is appointing a contractor to build a new house or carry out other construction work.

The contract is structured in a user-friendly style in four parts: a one page form of agreement that the client and contractor will sign, a set of (standard) Terms & Conditions, a one-page Appendix with a list of specific items such as the completion date, amount of insurances etc., and Schedules that should contain details of the project including the scope of work or specification, the contract price and payment terms.

The format allows for the client to appoint more than one contractor on a project using essentially the same terms and conditions if, instead of having one main contractor who engages subcontractors, the client decides to appoint a number of different contractors for different parts of the project.
