Small Works Contracts: Builder's Checklist

Designed For:

Builders, contractors, trades and anyone reviewing agreements between a client and its builder/contractor on small works projects ie smaller value or lower-risk building and construction projects.

Purpose:

The purpose of this screen is to identify the essential elements that should be present to ensure you have a simple to understand but workable agreement. Clients tend to focus on payment terms and contractors tend to focus on price and scope. However as most small works project are one-offs the agreements need to be flexible enough to recognise how things may change. The standards were based on a short form contract and book aimed at the UK sector but most of the UK-specific (England/Wales) content has been moved to questions or the standard makes clear how the answers may differ for use in England/Wales.

Limitations, Assumptions, Details:

This screen was validated against 7 small works agreements and produced an average accuracy of 99%.
