The Free Building Contract is designed for use in England and Wales where parties require a straightforward but comprehensive agreement for construction works. This contract type is particularly suitable for smaller to medium-sized construction projects where standard industry forms might be overly complex or expensive. It includes essential provisions for scope of works, payment terms, completion dates, and party obligations while maintaining compliance with key legislation such as the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.
