The Construction Agreement Form is a vital legal instrument used in Pakistan's construction industry to formalize the relationship between contractors and clients/employers.

The agreement comprehensively addresses all aspects of the construction process, including scope of work, payment terms, project timeline, quality standards, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while ensuring compliance with Pakistani law and regulations. The Construction Agreement Form incorporates requirements from various Pakistani legislation, including the Contract Act 1872, Pakistan Engineering Council Act 1976, and relevant building control ordinances.
