When a contract is agreed by two parties the law assumes that there was an
intention to create legal relations whether verbally, in writing or both, unless
one of the parties is incompetent such as a minor, being drunk, mentally ill
or suffering from a senile age related illness etc.
As long as you and the second party are both competent the contracts are
legally binding.
Where can I get a
free building contract?
We give 2 free building contracts (a
large works contract and a small works building contract) to everyone
who signs up for our monthly Home Improvers e-zine. Get your free
building contract by clicking here.
You find a builder and ask him for a price to replace your garage flat
roof with a new fibre-glass roof. He quotes you £1000 and you agree. You have
just entered a verbal contract and the law assumes you both had intentions to
create legal relations.
Your builder has never done a fibre-glass roof and finds the materials cost
him more than he allowed and it also takes him longer than he thought.
He gives you an invoice for £2000. You tell him the price agreed was half
that. He says it took him longer than he had thought and he's sure he had said
it would cost between £1000 and £2000. You argue for a while and offer him a cheque for £1000 which he takes.
He then takes you to the small claims court demanding a further £1000
You know he agreed a price of £1000 so why worry?
You go to court and he claims you agreed £2000 and you claim the agreement
was for £1000. The
court splits the difference (they almost always do if its one word against
another) and orders you to pay him another £500 plus costs.
With one of our written contracts in place your builder would have had to
take it
on the chin because he knows he has no chance of getting more than the agreed
£1000. He would simply have made a mental note to double the price next time anyone
wanted a
fibre-glass roof doing.

As cost effectively as possible
Our building contracts aren't just 1 page basic contracts. Although they are written in
plain English, they give detailed terms designed to meet as many
eventualities as possible. These terms leave your builder in no doubt as
to his responsibilities regards quality and time.

They fear that it will put you the client off because most people are not
happy when confronted with legal jargon. You may think the builder is
trying to tie you into a situation you may not want to be in (sometimes this is
the case).
Our contracts are written in plain English and are fair to both
parties.
Both parties know exactly where they stand.
Example, Your home improvement project consists of a new extension.
You use the large works building contract so stage payments are agreed and a payment is due once your builder is at
damp course level. You can relax in the knowledge that your
builder is not going to be asking you for a cheque every Friday and your builder
knows that once he reaches the agreed stage he is guaranteed his next cheque
without having to pester you for it.
When you purchase Builder Secrets Exposed you are given permission to use
either contract as many times as you require for the rest of your life. For instance, you may want a building contract because you
are having an extension built. But have
you thought about a contract for the decorators once your extension is finished?
Perhaps you will be having a new kitchen fitted in your extension.
Just print another copy as and when required. Now you own it get into the habit of using it!
You are given permission to use either building contract for any work your close
family may have at any time in the future. Your parents and children can all use a copy of your contract.
Yes, you will find them very easy to understand
and so won't scare your
customers.
Good question. Many people are wary about buying a product online because it
is for something they have not seen. The most successful online companies know
this so they try to over deliver. When they get a customer they aim to give them
that warm fuzzy feeling a buyer only gets when they know they just received a bargain.
By doing this they know that the customer will "spread the word"
about the product and that the "if not entirely satisfied" guarantee
will not be invoked.
This is a policy we wholeheartedly believe in and follow strenuously.
We have yet to receive a request for a refund.
Although Share-It, who
handle our transactions, automatically
encrypts your confidential information using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
protocol with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level
commercially available), Share-It also understand the worries some people may have
about security. 
For this reason you are given the opportunity to pay with cheque or cash by post.
Alternatively you can even pay the money into a high street bank.
Just select your method of payment when you order and details will be
given as to how to pay by your chosen method.
Once your package has downloaded you will need Acrobat Reader to view your
contracts and e-book. The chances are you already have this free program but if you are
very new to the web and don't have it, you can
download it by clicking on the Adobe button.
 Tip.
Have a look on a few of your magazine cover disks and chances are you
will find Acrobat Reader on at least one of them.
The file you will receive
is a PDF file which can be opened by both PC and MAC.
This file can also be opened by Linux and most other operating systems as long as you have
Acrobat Reader installed.
