Letters of Intent and PCSAs Specialist letters of intent and pre-construction services agreements (PCSA) Solicitors in Milton Keynes

At Heald Solicitors in Milton Keynes, we can identify the key issues and draft a letter of intent on behalf of the party employing the contractor, setting out their intention to enter into a formal contract, specifying the works that have been agreed upon and instructing the contractor to start an agreed level of work. Alternatively, we can draw up a pre-construction services agreement, so that a contractor can be appointed to perform services before the main contract is finalised.

Our team of expert construction solicitors can advise you on which option is most appropriate for your situation and represent you in negotiating the points to be agreed upon. We understand the time pressures that you are likely to be under and will work proactively to ensure that the agreement will be put in place.

Letters of Intent

A letter of intent provides a legal framework so that work can start for a defined period before the final contract is entered into, with the work to be carried out specified, alongside the price to be paid, the level of liability and the maximum charge that can be incurred by the contractor.

Pre-Construction Services Agreements (PCSAs)

A PCSA is generally used in a two-stage tendering process. It is a legally binding contract allowing the contractor to be engaged to provide an estimate of the costs and advise on the project and covers such issues such as how the work will be apportioned and how project management will be dealt with.
