A written contract is your most important protection in a renovation project. It turns verbal promises into clear obligations and protects both sides. Working without a detailed contract is an invitation to arguments and disappointment.
What must appear
The contract should include a bill of quantities and technical specification, the total price, a binding schedule, a payment schedule based on milestones, and warranty terms. The more detailed it is, the less room there is for surprises.
A correct payment schedule
Avoid large advances. Payment against real progress on site protects you and incentivises meeting the schedule. A reasonable advance at the start, and the balance according to defined stages.
Warranty and protection
Ensure there is a written warranty clause covering the repair of defects after handover. A clear contract with a professional contractor is the basis for a calm, orderly project.
