Abstract
This study examines subcontracting agreements, which play a crucial role in the construction sector, particularly given the increasing complexity of engineering projects and the need to distribute tasks among specialized contractors. The research aims to analyze the legal challenges associated with these agreements, including the obligations of the parties, the scope of liability, and mechanisms for dispute resolution. It also highlights the relationship between the main contractor and the subcontractor, as well as the role of legal frameworks, including FIDIC contracts, in regulating this relationship.
The study concludes that subcontracting agreements significantly enhance the efficiency of engineering project execution; however, they also raise legal issues concerning the determination of responsibilities and the protection of rights among contracting parties. Additionally, the findings underscore the importance of establishing clear dispute resolution mechanisms and promoting transparency in contract implementation.
Among the key recommendations of this study is the need for a more precise legal framework to define subcontractor obligations and ensure a balance between the rights of all parties. The study also suggests legislative amendments that can help minimize disputes arising from subcontracting agreements.
