The "Construction Products Law in Practice" explains in an easily understandable way the necessary foundations for the correct application of construction law regulations (MBO and MVV TB). The practical approach to using the MVV TB to derive the required construction product performance is the focus of the second main part. This is illustrated through numerous examples from the practice of planners and contractors, including its impact on tendering, awarding, and the use of construction products. Additionally, construction documentation is explained in a practical manner. It plays an important role in the context of construction supervision by the approval authority or by expert examiners and serves as proof of proper construction execution for the client.
