Document background
The Nominated Subcontractor Agreement is a specialized construction contract used when an employer exercises their right to select specific subcontractors for portions of a project while maintaining the main contractor's overall responsibility. This agreement, governed by Belgian law, establishes the legal and operational framework between the main contractor and the nominated subcontractor, addressing critical aspects such as work scope, payment terms, coordination requirements, and risk allocation. It is particularly important in complex projects where specialized expertise is required, and the employer wants to maintain control over the selection of key subcontractors while benefiting from the main contractor's project management capabilities. The agreement must comply with Belgian construction laws, social security regulations, and registration requirements, while also addressing specific requirements for public works when applicable. It typically includes detailed provisions for quality control, progress monitoring, and dispute resolution, reflecting the sophisticated nature of nominated subcontractor arrangements in the Belgian construction sector.
