NSCC Specialist Contractor's Toolkit

Do you find that your experience of getting paid always seem to involve contractors paying as little as they can get away with when it suits them?

The Specialist Contractor’s Toolkit, written for Specialist Contractors by Specialist Contractors, is designed to help you agree contracts properly and reveals the most commonly used tricks to delay payment to the supply chain.

Divided into three key sections to mirror the construction process - Before You Start, While You’re There, and After You’ve Finished - the Specialist Contractor’s Toolkit is an essential reference guide packed with tools and techniques to improve your chances of getting paid on time.

The Specialist Contractor’s Toolkit is priced at £20 but NSCC members can purchase it for the discounted rate of £10.  There is also a Scottish version available. Postage and package is £1.20 for each toolkit ordered.

 The Specialist Contractor’s Toolkit is a revelation! I have re-written my company’s terms and conditions using the advice and it has saved us a fortune. The section on pre-contract negotiations is particularly useful and I now use it as a checklist for all my pre-start meetings, standing my ground on clauses that I know will cause us problems down the line. The focus in the toolkit is on avoiding disputes before they happen and by following this policy within my business we have managed to save at least £18,000 in legal fees in 6 months alone.
