The Master Service Agreement (Construction) serves as the primary contractual framework for establishing long-term construction service relationships in India. It is typically used when a client anticipates requiring multiple construction projects or ongoing construction services from the same contractor over time. The agreement incorporates essential elements of Indian contract law, construction regulations, and industry standards while providing flexibility through work orders for specific projects. This document structure is particularly relevant in the Indian construction sector where relationships between developers and contractors often span multiple projects and years. The MSA includes provisions for compliance with key Indian legislation such as the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act 2016, labor laws, and environmental regulations, while establishing standardized processes for project execution, quality control, and dispute resolution.
