Brenna Baye to present: Advising Self-Build Residential Clients – A Guide for Construction Professionals

Edwin Coe is delighted to announce that Construction and Engineering Partner, Brenna Baye is presenting a Learn Live for MBL Seminars entitled “An Introduction to Common Parts in JCT Contracts – Not Just Form Filling”

Introduction

Over the past few years, the number of self-build residential projects has been increasing. This trend is likely to be boosted by the Government’s announcement in June 2022 of its Help to Build scheme aimed at making self-build homes ‘an option for those who don’t have Grand Designs size budgets.’

This virtual classroom seminar will consider the key issues that need to be considered on residential self-build projects.

This live broadcast will cover the following:

• The importance of contracts and appointments being in place before the works commence
• What to remember about letters of intent
• Which JCT contract should be used for residential construction projects
• The impact of the client being a ‘residential occupier’
• What needs to be considered if there is development funding
• What insurance is required for residential projects and who should obtain the insurance
