Understanding the various types of building and construction contracts is pivotal for anyone involved in the industry of Ascot. Our firm specialises in a broad spectrum of building contract matters, ensuring your legal rights and responsibilities are transparent and well-managed.

• Lump-Sum Contracts offer a clear, fixed price for your entire project, providing certainty on the costs and scope of work. This type of contract is beneficial for those who want a straightforward, predictable budget.
• Cost-Plus Contracts are designed to reimburse the builder for actual costs incurred, plus a fee or percentage that covers overhead and profit. This contract is flexible and allows for changes without renegotiating the total price.
• Design-Build Contracts streamline the construction process by having a single entity responsible for both design and construction. This can lead to a more cohesive and efficient project delivery.
• Subcontractor Agreements are crucial for delineating the terms between the main contractor and subcontractors, clearly outlining roles, responsibilities, and how payments will be handled.

Disputes can arise in any contract scenario. Variations in the contract, extensions of time, retentions and liquidated damages, disputes between subcontractors and contractors, payment claims, and defect disputes are all areas where conflicts may occur. Our expertise lies in navigating these disputes, providing resolutions that protect our clients’ interests and keep projects on track.
