    Hi

    I am currently building a new home from scratch and i'm currently in talks to get works started. I have selected my builder and ready to go and we both agreed on a fixed price contract

    My question is.
    Who creates the fixed price contract between builder and I?

    Is it the builder? is it me? is it the engineer/architect? or solicitor?

    A contract is only as good as the documents it’s based on.

    The contract is typically ‘between’ you and the builder. The Eng/arch ‘administer’ the contract

    Search ‘RIAI contract’

    Your architect/engineer will draw up the contract but it will be between you and the builder.
