01PLANNING GUIDE
A clear contract is the best protection both parties have. It turns verbal promises into agreed terms, and it gives everyone a reference when questions arise mid-project.
Next step
Get matched with contractors who quote itemised, so the contract has a clear scope from the start.
Request matched quotesOr message us on WhatsAppThe contract should attach or reference the scope of work, drawings and the specification of materials, including brands and models where they matter. Anything left vague — 'tiles to be selected' — should carry an allowance so the price is clear.
The contract price, the payment stages linked to completed work, the start date and an expected completion date belong in writing. How variations are requested, priced and approved before they are carried out prevents disputes over extras.
Insurance, responsibility for damage to the property and common areas, site cleanliness and working hours should be covered. So should snagging, the defects period, warranty terms and the documents handed over at the end — warranties for materials, test results and any as-built drawings.
