Introduction to Construction Contracts

Engaging a contractor in building works, ordering materials for your retrofit project or making a verbal agreement with a builder? Then you are entering into a contract! But do you know your rights, and if there is something in writing do you read every word before signing on the dotted line? 

Event description

“You can agree to almost anything in your contracts… in theory. However, laws can interfere with that freedom. Just because a term is written into a contract doesn’t mean you are bound by it.” (https://500words.co.uk/the-dotted-line-anything-almost/)

At this webinar, Sarah Fox (500 words) will be joining us to shine a light on construction contract basics – what to look out for, and what your rights are. Sarah is a contract specialist who advocates for simple contracts of just 500 words to build trust and avoid disputes. Find out more at www.500words.co.uk

In this webinar we will talk about:

  • Understanding construction contracts
  • Busting contract myths
  • How to create better contracts

Find out all about Construction Contracts, with Tina Holt from CAfS and Sarah Fox from 500 Words Ltd.
