The Master Subcontractor Agreement serves as a foundational document for managing subcontractor relationships in Qatar's construction and infrastructure sectors. It is specifically designed to comply with Qatar's civil law system and regulatory requirements, including the Qatar Civil Code and Labor Law. This agreement type is essential for main contractors who regularly engage multiple subcontractors across various projects, providing a standardized framework while allowing for project-specific modifications. The Master Subcontractor Agreement includes comprehensive provisions for scope definition, performance standards, payment mechanisms, and risk allocation, while incorporating mandatory requirements for worker welfare, local content, and Qatar Construction Standards compliance. It is particularly valuable for large-scale projects where consistent subcontractor management is crucial for successful project delivery.
