Hello James,

Absolutely, without a doubt, it’s advisable to request a written programme from your builder. Having a detailed project programme in writing serves as a valuable reference point for both parties. It outlines the planned sequence of tasks, milestones, and estimated timelines for each phase of the project.

This written programme provides transparency and clarity, ensuring that everyone is on the same page regarding expectations and deadlines. It becomes a useful tool to track progress and address any deviations from the initial plan.

Consider discussing the inclusion of the programme as a reference within your contract. This way, it becomes a mutually agreed-upon document that can be referred to throughout the construction process. It adds an extra layer of accountability and helps avoid any potential misunderstandings.

Ask your builder for the written programme, and don’t hesitate to discuss its inclusion in the contract for your peace of mind.

Best of luck, Alma
