Whenever a contractor undertakes work using one of the standard building contracts, however small the job, writing a good many letters will be involved. Some will be formal notices it is necessary to give while others will be letters it is prudent to send.

The letters are for use with the following contracts:

• JCT Standard Building Contract (SBC)
