The Mini Form of Contract has been produced in association with the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) .
Priced at £4.95, it is designed specifically for minor works at values of £20,000 or less and with a duration of no more than 12 weeks, described by drawings and/or specification/schedule of works.
The TrustMark endorsed contract will include insurance backed warranty cover, which gives financial protection to both the contractor and client in the event of any issues arising. A standard letter of invitation and form of tender document is also included in the Contract enabling the interested firm to complete the requested contract details and associated costs.
TrustMark marketing chief Stuart Carter said: “Over the last few months we have been working closely with the CIOB to produce a suitable ‘low value’ contract, which is fit for purpose and as user friendly as possible. Contracts should reflect the needs of the users, i.e. the consumer and the contractor, as well as being legally enforceable to protect both parties. As we all know in the construction industry there are ever changing legislations and laws so therefore it is vital to keep works contracts as comprehensive as they can be.”
