The Construction Subcontract is essential for delegating specific portions of construction work from a main contractor to specialized subcontractors in Nigerian construction projects. This document type is commonly used when a main contractor needs to engage specialized expertise or additional capacity for project delivery. The agreement ensures compliance with Nigerian construction laws, including the Public Procurement Act 2007, Labour Act, and National Building Code, while establishing clear terms for scope, payment, quality standards, and risk allocation. It's particularly important in major construction projects where work packages need to be distributed among multiple specialized contractors while maintaining overall project coordination and compliance with the main contract requirements.
