The Simple Construction Agreement is specifically designed for use in the Irish construction industry where parties require a straightforward but comprehensive contract for construction projects. It is particularly suited for projects where the scope and responsibilities are clearly defined and where a full standard form contract (such as RIAI or FIDIC) might be unnecessarily complex. This agreement incorporates essential requirements under Irish law, including the Construction Contracts Act 2013, building regulations, and health and safety requirements. It is structured to provide clear guidance on payment mechanisms, variations, and dispute resolution while maintaining flexibility for project-specific adaptations. The document is typically used for residential developments, small commercial projects, and renovation works where the contract value and complexity do not warrant more elaborate contractual arrangements.
