The Building Contract
The Building Contract is a vital document – the legally binding commitment between your builder and you as the client to deliver your project. I can administer this contract on your behalf. It is not uncommon for building projects to contain hidden surprises – structural difficulties such as unexpected ground conditions, for example – that can have an impact on the design and the building cost. The best way of preparing yourself is an adequate written contract, designed to manage such events fairly from each party’s point of view. To have an architect involved in the Contract Administration brings a peace of mind.
