The Home Builder Subcontractor Agreement is a crucial document used in Malaysian residential construction projects when a main contractor needs to engage specialized subcontractors for specific aspects of home building works. This agreement is designed to comply with Malaysian construction law, including the Housing Development (Control and Licensing) Act 1966, CIDB requirements, and relevant building regulations. It's particularly important for ensuring clear delegation of responsibilities, maintaining quality standards, and protecting all parties' interests in residential construction projects. The agreement typically includes detailed specifications, payment terms, timeline commitments, quality requirements, and safety protocols specific to Malaysian construction practices. It's essential for risk management and establishing clear contractual relationships in the Malaysian home building sector.
