07 May 2012 AS-7 is applicable to contractors engaged in construction activities. Generally, a developer is not treated as a contractor.
.
Developers may engage contractors to perform the construction work and AS-7 applies to such contractors.
.
In other words In a case where developer has not entered into a construction contract with other parties (land owners), and carrying on own construction, AS-7, will not apply.
