Why use a JCT Homeowner Contract?
Employing the services of a building contractor, or a consultant such as an architect or a surveyor, can lighten the load of the organisational and practical aspects of home renovation work, but can also turn into a legal minefield should things go wrong.
Using a JCT Homeowner Contract can help you protect your investment in your home from the nightmare of cowboy builders and long, costly legal wrangles.
