Q&As
What’s the most appropriate JCT contract for my self build?
I'm about to embark on a self build that has been designed by an architect using a main contractor for the construction of the whole house, but I will be overseeing the build.
What is the most appropriate JCT contract for the project?

Hi Paul,
It’s been a while since I’ve looked over the options from JCT, but it certainly used to be that the Minor Works suite had the most appropriate JCT contracts for a self build project.
You may also be interested in looking at some of the alternatives – ContractStore.com sells contract templates specifically aimed at self builders, for instance, while the Federation of Master Builders also has some good options.
