This Simple Construction Agreement is designed for use in Qatar for straightforward construction projects where a comprehensive but not overly complex contractual framework is required. It is particularly suitable for medium-sized construction works where the scope is well-defined and the project risks are relatively standard. The agreement incorporates essential requirements under Qatar law, including provisions from the Qatar Civil Code (Law No. 22 of 2004) and local construction regulations. It covers key aspects such as payment terms, completion requirements, defects liability, and dispute resolution, while remaining adaptable to various construction scenarios. This template is commonly used for projects ranging from residential developments to simple commercial buildings, providing sufficient protection for both parties while maintaining practicality and ease of use.
