Document background
The Building Work Agreement is a fundamental contract used in the Saudi Arabian construction industry to establish the legal and commercial relationship between project owners and contractors. It is essential for any construction project in Saudi Arabia, from commercial buildings to residential developments. The agreement must comply with Saudi law, including the Saudi Building Code, Contractors Classification Law, and Sharia principles. It typically includes detailed specifications of the works, payment mechanisms, project timelines, quality standards, and risk allocation provisions. This document is particularly important given Saudi Arabia's extensive construction sector and the complex regulatory requirements governing building works. It serves as the primary contract document for construction projects and should be customized based on project size, complexity, and specific requirements while maintaining compliance with local regulations.
