To prevent legal disputes between building company and principal, a clear contractual agreement is essential. A precise definition of the building project and separate deadlines for certain phases of construction are crutial.

Another major problem of the building industry is the significant decline in the payment behaviour of the awarding authorities. This can cause a liquidity squeeze especially for medium-sized companies. This can be avoided by sustained enforcement of open accounts only.

I can support your activities in the building industry by legal advice on:

• drafting contracts on construction work
• public invitations to tender on construction work
• enforcement of open accounts
• enforcement of supplementary claims
• liability issues
