Document background
The Engineering Procurement And Construction Agreement is a crucial document for major capital projects in Malaysia, typically used for complex industrial, infrastructure, or energy facilities where single-point responsibility is required. This agreement type is particularly relevant when the project owner (Employer) wants to transfer the majority of project risks to a single contractor who takes full responsibility for design, procurement, and construction through to completion. The document must comply with Malaysian laws including the Street, Drainage and Building Act 1974, Registration of Engineers Act 1967, and relevant environmental regulations. It includes comprehensive technical specifications, commercial terms, performance guarantees, and project execution requirements while incorporating local content requirements and industry standards. This agreement type is commonly used in sectors such as power generation, oil and gas, and infrastructure development where project complexity demands detailed risk allocation and performance requirements.
