Document background
The Contractor And Subcontractor Agreement is essential for projects where a main contractor delegates specific works or services to specialized subcontractors. This document, compliant with Austrian law and regulations, is commonly used in construction, engineering, and various industrial projects. It defines the hierarchical relationship between parties, outlines work specifications, payment terms, quality requirements, and risk allocation. The agreement ensures compliance with Austrian civil code (ABGB), construction regulations, social security requirements, and industry standards. It's particularly important for complex projects requiring specialized expertise, incorporating provisions for project management, quality control, safety standards, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The document protects both parties' interests while maintaining alignment with the main contract between the principal contractor and the project owner.
