Bespoke Building Contracts for HomeOWNERS
Our Goal
Our aim at My Builder Contract is to minimise the risk of homeowners being a victim to cowboy builders and at the same time protect homeowners and clients funding a building project with their hard earned cash by not incurring unnecessary additional costs.
Most people particularly homeowners who are not familiar with commissioning a major renovation project to their properties such as extensions or loft conversions quite often proceed with the cheapest quote and agree to a verbal contract or a contract drafted up by the builder which is quite often favourable to them.
As the client/homeowner you have every right to select a contract which is fair to both parties so if a dispute does arise half way through your project you and the builder have a fair and easy to follow contract to refer too.
That's why at My Builder Contract we will do all the handwork for you by drafting up an industry recognised building contract which is fair to both parties. Our contracts will capture the entire scope of your project including all the finer details which most people don't consider.
Why shall I use your service if I can download a free Contract?
1. The majority of free online contracts you can download are not kept up to date with latest legislation, all our industry recognised contracts we use are continuously updated to meet current industry legislations.
2. The free contracts you can download will only have room for a general overview of the project and will not consider any of the finer details. The contracts we put together are robust and will pick up all the finer details and will include a series of additional documents which will accompany the main Homeowner contract which will ensure a water tight contract.
3. Most of the free contract you can download free are written in legal jargon which are difficult to understand. The contract we use at My Builder Contract are written in plain English which is easy to follow and most importantly it's an industry recognised building contract.
