Document background
The Land Owner Builder Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Saudi Arabia when a property owner engages a contractor for construction work. This agreement is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian context, where construction must comply with specific national building codes, Shariah principles, and local municipality regulations. It is typically used for both residential and commercial construction projects, providing a detailed framework for the construction process, from initial planning to completion and defects liability period. The document includes essential elements such as scope of work, payment terms, construction specifications, and compliance requirements with Saudi regulations. It protects both parties' interests by clearly defining roles, responsibilities, and risk allocation, while ensuring the project meets all legal and regulatory requirements in Saudi Arabia.
