Document background
The Engineering Consulting Agreement is essential for formalizing professional engineering consulting services in Pakistan. It is used when engaging engineering consultants or firms for technical expertise, design services, project supervision, or advisory services. The agreement ensures compliance with Pakistani legislation, particularly the Pakistan Engineering Council Act 1976, which regulates engineering practice, and the Contract Act 1872, which governs contractual relationships. This document is crucial for projects requiring specialized engineering expertise, whether in infrastructure development, industrial projects, or construction ventures. It addresses key aspects such as scope definition, professional standards, liability protection, intellectual property rights, and payment terms, while incorporating local regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
