Building Contract for Minor Works (Domestic)
About this document
A contract between a builder or trade business and a homeowner (a consumer) for building work at their home – from a bathroom refit to a single-storey extension. It is written in plain English, as consumer law requires, and covers price, staged payments, changes, delays, approvals, defects and complaints.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
