Who can use this template contract for works and services ?

Any individual or business that needs occasional building or similar work.

What is this contract for?

It contains a  set of terms and conditions for use by a business that needs occasional construction or engineering work, such as building a new garage, installing a new heating system  or creating a  car park.

It is fairly balanced but if you are a contractor, we suggest you use our contract B137

What are the main issues to cover in a contract for work or services?

There are the practical issues such as the scope of services and timing. This could include restrictions on access if the work could interfere with other activities.

As with all building related contracts, there needs to be a provision allowing for change and a procedure for dealing with problems that occur as the work progresses. And there should be a clause to see the work is inspected and signed off, when the client is satisfied it is completed.

The contractor’s liability for loss or damage and the related insurance arrangements also need to be covered. And the terms allow for some security to be provided by the contractor.
