FAQ about our building contracts and Builder Secrets ExposedPlease click on a question to see the answer.
Are your building contracts legal?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. Back to TopWhere 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. If a verbal contract is legally binding why should I bother using a written building contract?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.
Back to TopWhat makes this building contract package different?Our building protection package is unique and you won't find anything like it anywhere else on the Internet. Builder Secrets Exposed will make sure you get the best possible deal and will pay for the cost of this package many times over. This package gives you over 100 pages of tools and information designed solely to make sure you get your building work done
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. Why don't builders offer a building contract if it protects them as well as me?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.
Back to TopHow many times can I use the building contract once I receive 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!
Back to TopCan I give a copy of one of the contracts to members of my family?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.
Back to TopI own a reputable building firm. Can I use your building contracts?Yes, you will find them very easy to understand and so won't scare your customers. Back to TopIf this package is as good as you say, why is it so cheap?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.
