The Subcontractor Letter of Intent is a critical document used in New Zealand's construction and project-based industries when there is a need to initiate subcontractor engagement before finalizing comprehensive subcontract documentation. It serves as a bridge between initial negotiations and the formal subcontract, particularly useful in time-sensitive projects or when early contractor involvement is essential. The document typically includes preliminary scope definition, basic commercial terms, and authorization for specific pre-contract activities, while clearly delineating binding and non-binding elements. Operating under New Zealand jurisdiction, it must align with the Construction Contracts Act 2002 and related legislation, providing both parties with sufficient clarity and protection during the interim period. This type of document is particularly relevant in complex projects where staged contracting approaches are necessary or where early works need to commence while detailed terms are being negotiated.
