In our webinar series on construction contracts lawyer Sarah Fox outlines the elements of a legal contract and how to modify them to suit your business needs.

Well-written contracts between builders and clients can reduce the chance of confusion or disagreement between parties.

The FMB’s jargon-free contract templates are designed to be fair, easy to understand and readily adaptable so that you can modify them to reflect the unique requirements of each project.

This session acts as a summary of the series, which covers a comprehensive range of topics including:

  • Why you should write simple building contracts
  • How to specify building works in a contract (parties and goods, works and services)
  • How to clarify project outcomes (time and cost) in a building contract
  • How to agree on project aims
  • Managing risks and limiting liabilities
  • Contractual remedies when things go wrong

All FMB members can access a suite of simple, jargon-free contract templates to use with their clients.
