Self builders - documents/contracts to provide to sub-contractors e.g. DOM/1 or similar. Where can I get a template? Thank you.

We are about to start another self build journey.  The last being completed 6 years ago.  I need to provide something to our sub-contractors (a contract and schedule of works etc).  Are there any free templates around?

 

Any other tips.  I recall previously having to get involved in H&S, signage etc

 

Thank you.

While you definitely need a contract and a schedule of works for a main contractor It would be unreasonable for you to expect a subcontractor to sign a contract and I would imagine that legally it wouldn’t be worth the paper it was written on 

 

HSE is totally your responsibility 

While your subies won’t take any notice Plenty of signs are best 

Report to office hats boots etc 

Accident book and first aid kit 

Bum covering on your part

I agree with @nod. We didn’t use a main contractor and just hired subbies. None of them had contracts they just quoted for the work and did the job. 
 

but maybe we were lucky and got really good trades who were all spot on and so there weren’t any disputes.
