Builder Appointment & Contracts

Builder Appointment & Construction Contracts

Ready to appoint your builder? It is time to formalise the arrangements using a building contract.

Getting CLPM to organise your builder appointment and construction contract will protect your financial interests and give you more control of the construction phase of your project.

CLPM can advise you which contract is suitable for your project. For most residential projects this is usually either a JCT Homeowner Contract or a JCT Minor Works Contract.

We can appoint your build team and prepare all your building contract documentation for you.

Building Contracts

A building contract plays an important part in helping you control your building costs. It will formalise your agreement – in terms of the price, the works to be done, the completion date, and how much and when your builder will invoice you and receive payment from you.

It will help both you and the contractor to plan better too.

Having a proper contract in place will help you both schedule to keep your project on track – and will also enable you to organise financially and prevent any major cost issues. Should there be any changes to the works mid-construction it also gives a legal framework to help ensure any price variations quoted are fair and reasonable.

Why CLPM?

Many architects can manage the appointment of your builder but they’re very unlikely to have the breadth of experience or specialist contractual knowledge of CLPM’s Quantity Surveyors.

Our team are specialists in builder appointment. We’ll use our experience to consider the potential risks involved with your project and make sure they are covered by the conditions set out in your construction contract.
