Trouble with cowboy customers? Not with our contracts software!
Even the friendliest of customer relationships can turn sour. Which is why it’s really important to have your building projects properly legally covered. With our exclusive Small Works Business-to-Business contract, Consumer contract and Subcontract contract you stand a greater chance of winning the job and being paid on time for ALL the work you’ve carried out. Our legal team has done the hard graft and the software writes the contract for you. You answer some questions and print off the paperwork in minutes!
We’ve got you contractually covered
Know that everything has been thought of
With our Plain English contracts, no one is in doubt about the work covered, value, obligations, payment timings, defects, termination, warranties, insurance...
Give the customer peace of mind
Customers respond positively knowing what’s included in the project and what needs paying when. Often customers insist on a contract.
Get it all down in writing
The software also automatically produces a cover letter with your contract. It’s been written by experts and makes everything crystal clear.
Don’t get caught by Trading Standards
To comply with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, legally you need a ‘Notice of the Right to Cancel’, ‘Start Work Now Form’, ‘Changing Work Form’ and Cancellation Forms.
Make it clear how you want to be paid
Select your payment terms by Build Phase, milestone or specific days, so both you and your customer know where you stand.
Think Health & Safety laws too
Your contract includes the CDM 2015 regulations. And that's the difference between hoping for the best and being supported by the law.
Avoid bad debts with legally binding contracts
You have to do very little work in return for a valuable contract written in Plain English that will help you get paid - and on time. Everyone knows where they stand. Drafted in partnership with construction lawyers you’ll look more professional than your competition, meaning you stand a greater chance of winning the work! And your business will be protected. After all, one bad payer can take a building firm under.
