Document background
The Nominated Subcontractor Agreement is a crucial document in Hong Kong construction projects where specialized works require particular expertise or suppliers specifically chosen by the employer or architect. This agreement type is commonly used in complex construction projects where the employer wishes to maintain control over the selection of specialized subcontractors while keeping them under the main contractor's coordination and supervision. The document establishes the contractual framework between the main contractor and the nominated subcontractor, detailing their respective rights, obligations, payment mechanisms, and coordination requirements. Key features include provisions for direct payment mechanisms, quality control, programming of works, and dispute resolution procedures, all aligned with Hong Kong construction law and practice. The agreement ensures clear delineation of responsibilities while maintaining the essential coordination role of the main contractor.
