Hi there,
I read a thread a few weeks ago that explained in great detail exactly what shold be included in contracts between you and the builder when undertaking rennovations on your home, and tips to make sure you're getting a good price, quality work etc. Specifically it detailed important points that must be present in contracts to protect yourself against sub-par work.
Unfortunately, I can no longer find this thread or a similar one with the information required. Does anyone here have a link?
Sorry to be a pest

don't know about the thread but I'd strongly recommend you use the industry standard contract for homeowners which is written by the Joint Contracts Tribunal
there are 2 versions:
a) where the homeowner does NOT employ a project manager to oversee the builder
b) where a project manager is employed to oversee the builder
JCT contracts are fair to both sides and are used extensively by professionals, all you need do is fill in the blanks such as £ and dates.

you may be able to find a free download if you search for it, but direct from JCT it's about £200
