What is a Supplementary Agreement Between Builder and Landowner?

A supplementary agreement between a builder and a landowner is a legally binding document that modifies or adds terms to an existing agreement, usually a Joint Development Agreement (JDA). This agreement is executed when both parties agree to amend certain clauses, timelines, or other terms that were not included in the original contract.

Purpose of a Supplementary Agreement

  • Clarification of Terms: It helps to clarify any ambiguity in the initial agreement.
  • Extension of Timelines: If construction deadlines or delivery timelines need to be extended, a supplementary agreement formalizes the new timelines.
  • Modification of Profit Sharing: It can also redefine the profit-sharing ratio between the builder and the landowner.
  • Additional Obligations: New responsibilities for either party can be added to the original agreement.

Importance of Supplementary Agreements

  1. Legal Protection: Ensures both parties are legally protected in case of future disputes.
  2. Flexibility: Allows both parties to revise terms without rewriting the entire agreement.

When is a Supplementary Agreement Needed?

  • Changes in construction timelines.
  • Revision of project scope or specifications.
  • Updates in financial arrangements.

A properly drafted supplementary agreement ensures that any modifications made after the initial agreement are documented and legally enforceable.
