Why use this tool

• Provides a simple, plain-English agreement that is better than nothing at all.
• Covers the key commercial terms — scope, rate, payment, CIS, and liability.
• Quick to produce on site or at the start of a project, reducing the risk of disputes later.

Many construction disputes arise because there was no written agreement. A simple one-page subcontract agreement covering the scope of work, the agreed rate, payment terms, CIS deduction status, and basic liability provisions is far better than a verbal handshake. This generator produces a clear, readable document that both parties can sign before work begins. It is not a substitute for a full JCT or NEC subcontract on larger projects — but for everyday domestic and small commercial work, it sets out the key terms and gives both sides something to refer back to if questions arise.
