The place of the construction contract within the system of subcontract agreements

The article examines the place of a construction contract in the system of contract agreements. The purpose of the article is to determine the place of a construction contract in the system of contract agreements. This goal can be achieved by solving the following tasks: identifying the features of a construction contract in the context of modern challenges, outlining the system of contract agreements and characterizing the place of a construction contract in this system. It highlights the distinctive features of a construction contract in comparison with other types of contract agreements, such as a household contract, a contract for design and exploration work, each of which has certain features and conditions for performing work, which are determined by a specific type of activity and requirements for the result of the work. The article provides a general characteristic of a construction contract, according to which it is a bilateral, consensual, named, refundable and risky contract. The study leads to the conclusions that a construction contract is complex in nature, since it is regulated not only by the norms of civil, but also by economic legislation. The study also highlights the complexity and multidisciplinary nature of construction contracts, which are influenced by various branches of law, including civil, labor, environmental and urban planning law. The article also examines the risks and responsibilities associated with a construction contract, in particular with regard to the quality of the project, safety standards and compliance with deadlines. In addition, the legal and practical implications of these contracts in the context of the construction industry are examined. It is established that the construction contract is the main contract in the system of contract contracts and is distinguished by its complexity compared to other types of such contracts. It has a number of characteristics that classify it as a separate legal entity in the broader context of contract law. This contract regulates relations related to the performance of work, including construction, reconstruction, repair or other changes in the physical condition of buildings and structures. It is emphasized that the implementation of contractual relations in the field of construction under martial law and post-war reconstruction has a number of features due to the complexities of the construction process in areas of hostilities. The construction contract regulates the rights and obligations of the parties, the conditions for the performance of work, and establishes liability mechanisms in case of non-compliance with deadlines or poorquality performance of construction work. Due to the need to ensure compliance with technical and construction standards when performing a construction contract, this type of contract is more complex compared to other contract contracts. Therefore, its terms include detailed provisions on material and technical support, deadlines for work, quality assurance, as well as mandatory compliance with standards and rules in the construction industry. All this indicates that the construction contract is an independent complex agreement in the system of contract contracts.

Key words: contract of subcontract, construction subcontract, contract, contract terms, subject of the contract, construction works.
