The General Contractor Contract is a crucial legal document used in Malta for managing construction projects of various scales. It serves as the primary agreement between property owners/employers and general contractors, establishing clear parameters for construction works while ensuring compliance with Maltese building regulations and civil law requirements. This document is essential when engaging a general contractor to oversee and execute construction projects, whether for commercial, residential, or industrial developments. The contract incorporates specific provisions required under Maltese law, including compliance with the Building Regulation Act, Occupational Health and Safety Authority Act, and relevant environmental regulations. It provides comprehensive coverage of project specifics, from scope definition and payment terms to quality standards and dispute resolution mechanisms, while accounting for Malta's unique legal framework that combines elements of civil law and British common law.
