Construction Contract

Abstract

This chapter firstly contains a brief description of the regulatory basis of German construction contract law. Moreover, it provides an overview of the most common types of construction contract and types of contractor as well as the main rights and obligations of the contracting parties usually laid down in a construction contract in German construction law practice. It is not intended to pre-formulate a standard construction contract. In view of the different interests and objectives of the parties in each particular case, no attempt has been made to make any proposals for the individual wording of contract clauses.
