About this tradesman contract

This contract is for any work which could broadly be referred to as “construction work”.

This document template has been kept simple so that you can use it even on a very small job.  We have included terms that limit your liability for work not done, breach of agreement or accident, and protect you from excessive claims from the client for things you could not foresee. The confidentiality paragraph helps to prevent unhappy clients posting negative reviews about your business on social networks and forums.

We have provided several payment options to make sure that you get paid what the client owes you for your work, in full and on time. In case the client does not pay up-front, the contract contains alternative provisions for payment.

This contract also contains drafting notes to make quite clear what the text means and to advise you on choosing from the options we give.

Examples of users of this document

In drawing this document template we have used the term “Tradesman / Plumber”. This is for reference only. The document is suitable for all construction industry trades and many others where the tradesman is working in someone’s home. Here are example trades:

  • Plumber

Very easy to use and once I understood the way in which the document works it was straight forward to tweak for my business needs.
Would certainly consider net lawman again for future legal documents.

This service was convenient and easy to access when I needed it. I did not have to make an appointment or an arrangement to speak to a legal professional.
It was quite inexpensive, as I just needed a first pass to look professional.
