Bauvertragsrecht nach BGB und VOB/B

What regulations must I consider in practice when it comes to construction contracts? This commentary presents everything necessary: the provisions of the VOB/B, the complete law on work contracts including the new construction contract law, as well as the often underestimated sales contract law according to the BGB in construction projects. With numerous overviews, graphics, examples, and practical tips, the experienced author team illustrates the topic of "construction execution and construction projects." Particularly helpful for your professional daily routine are the readily usable sample texts and practical checklists. All parts of the 5th edition have been updated, incorporating many current and some fundamental rulings, such as the BGH's case law on calculating additional costs based on the actually required expenses and on construction delays. The implications of the regulations on construction contract law and consumer construction contracts that have been in effect since January 1, 2018, in practice and jurisprudence—such as the possibility of interim injunctions for payment claims—are also explained. For the execution of construction contracts, the VOB/B remains an important practical tool and will continue to be, even though its preferential treatment in terms of general terms and conditions has been restricted and a different contract model is available with the new regulations of the construction contract in the BGB. Nevertheless, the VOB/B still offers many advantages over the BGB, particularly in terms of the right to issue orders and the clear distribution of tasks. The often overlooked sales contract law applies to all contracts for the manufacture and delivery of movable items—thus affecting many contracts in daily construction activities. This commentary is a solid and comprehensible tool for daily practice—making it indispensable for everyone involved in construction projects.
