We advise all persons involved in building projects: building owners, architects, engineers, general contractors and general suppliers as well as craftsmen. We unravel the network of complex legal and contractual relationships that is typical of building projects and in which the parties concerned are involved in a variety of ways.
Our range of services includes:
- Legal advice on the construction project to avoid any conflicts at an early stage;
- Drafting, examining and negotiating building and architectural contracts, general and sub-planner contracts, developer contracts and syndicated (ARGE) contracts including general terms and conditions (AGB), the Construction Tendering and Contract Regulations (VOB/B) and the price regulations of Fee Structures for Architects and Engineers (HOAI);
- Legal examination of fee notes, supplemental performance, claims with respect to contractual penalties and damages, arising for example from an extension of the construction period or from liability for defects;
- Legal enforcement and defence of claims as well as representation in proceedings to preserve evidence.
