Document background
The Simple Construction Contract is a fundamental legal document used in Hong Kong's construction industry for establishing clear contractual relationships between employers and contractors. This document is particularly suitable for straightforward construction projects where a balanced and clear agreement is needed without the complexity of more elaborate construction contracts. It incorporates essential elements required under Hong Kong law, including compliance with the Buildings Ordinance and Construction Workers Registration Ordinance. The contract is designed to protect both parties' interests while maintaining flexibility for project-specific requirements. It's commonly used for residential renovations, small commercial fit-outs, and medium-sized construction projects where standard terms and conditions are sufficient. The document includes key provisions for payment security, dispute resolution, and quality assurance, reflecting recent developments in Hong Kong's construction law and practice.
