Document background
The Building Construction Agreement is a fundamental document used in Saudi Arabia for establishing the legal and commercial framework for construction projects. It is essential for any project involving the construction of buildings, whether commercial, residential, or industrial. The agreement must comply with Saudi Arabian law, including Sharia principles, the Saudi Building Code, and local municipality regulations. It typically includes detailed provisions on scope of works, pricing, timelines, quality standards, and risk allocation, supported by comprehensive technical schedules. This document is particularly important as it provides clarity on parties' obligations, payment terms, and dispute resolution mechanisms while ensuring compliance with local content requirements and building standards. The agreement should be customized based on project size, complexity, and specific requirements while maintaining core elements required by Saudi law.
