selfbuildrookie Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 I'd be really grateful for any experience or advice on which contract to use. We're currently out to tender for a new build house, and are intending that the contractor will manage the site and all trades, but that I will be the contract administrator (CA) (mortgage company seem fine with this). Our architect has recommended the RIBA Domestic 2018 contract as it specifically allows for the client to also be the CA; however when we have approached a solicitor to quote for reviewing the contract before signing, we have been advised a JCT Minor Works will be better, and that the RIBA contract isn't advised for projects greater than £250k in value (ours will probably be more like £500k). Does anyone have any thoughts? As you can tell from my handle, I haven't done this before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonJump Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 I currently have a project at about 250k+ - have to decide between JCT HO without consultant or RIBA. Any update on how it went? (I hope it went well ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
