The Construction Demand Letter For Payment is a crucial document in the UAE construction industry, used when payment for completed construction work remains outstanding. It serves as a formal prerequisite to legal action under UAE law, particularly relevant under Federal Law No. 5 of 1985 (Civil Code) and construction-specific regulations. The document is typically issued after informal payment requests have been unsuccessful and before initiating formal legal proceedings. It must clearly state the amount owed, reference the relevant construction contract, detail the completed works, and provide a reasonable payment deadline. The letter should maintain professionalism while firmly asserting legal rights, and must be drafted in accordance with UAE legal requirements to be effective in potential court proceedings.
