How do you protect yourself from costly disputes?
Signing a JCT contract guarantees protection and clarity throughout your build.
We break down the most common procurement routes and explain why choosing the right contract matters more than most homeowners realise.
Traditional lump sum contracts give you maximum control over specification and finishes but require complete design before tender and can extend your programme. Design and build transfers design risk to the contractor and speeds up delivery but only works if your contractor has the management capability to handle it.
Most residential projects use a hybrid approach with contractor design portions for specialist elements like M&E, joinery, and waterproofing.
The right contract protects everyone involved. The wrong one leaves you exposed when disputes arise.
