Private construction law, VOB/B, architects’ law and permit issues
Legal support for construction and development projects.
In Germany, the success of a construction project often turns on legal settings that are decided long before the project reaches court. The firm supports developers, contractors, investors and architects in contract architecture, execution, defect management and permit-sensitive project issues.
01 Construction contracts, variations, VOB/B and fee issues
02 Defects, acceptance, delays, warranty and project overrun
03 Conflict between developer, contractor, architect or authority
Construction law
Main fields of support
The focus lies on private construction law and the legal stability of projects in every stage of implementation.
Architects and planning
Assessment of contracts with architects and planners, fee disputes, allocation of responsibility and protection of intellectual contributions within the project.
Permits, defects and enforcement
Support with defects, acceptance, variations, permit interfaces, change-of-use questions and economically sensitive construction conflicts.
Construction law
Typical situations
Construction conflicts become especially expensive where contracts, documentation, project progress and permits no longer fit together cleanly.
A construction, works or project contract should be stress-tested before signing
After execution, defects, acceptance or warranty questions move to the centre
A contractor demands additional payment, more time or a revised scope
A fee, liability or quality conflict has arisen with an architect
Permit, change-of-use or authority contact affects the project timeline
Claims must be secured before evidence, site condition and control of the project erode further
Process
How the construction mandate works
- 1 First we structure the contractual basis, project progress, permit situation and the economic core of the dispute.
- 2 Then the firm reviews which rights from contract, VOB/B, acceptance, defects or planning input are actually robust.
- 3 Out-of-court and court options are prioritised by leverage, timing, documentation and evidence quality.
- 4 Implementation connects project documentation, economic steering and procedural position in one coherent line.

Frequently asked questions
Who is construction law advice for?
The firm assists building owners, developers, contractors and designers. Topics include construction and design contracts, variations, payment, defects, acceptance of works and legal issues concerning permits.
Can I contact the firm before signing or accepting works?
Yes. The practice covers construction and project contract reviews before signing, as well as issues during performance and at acceptance. Variations and disputes involving architects can also be discussed.
Which project documents help with the review?
Prepare available contracts, specifications, variations, permits, acceptance records, photographs and plans. Start with minimal contact details and agree a secure way to exchange documents with the firm. Do not send documents or a case narrative through the public form or plugin.
How are the next steps decided?
The firm considers the contractual basis, progress of works, permit position and documentation. Out-of-court and court options are assessed against the evidence, timing and economic significance; fee arrangements are discussed for the particular engagement.
Documents
Useful starting documents
Construction contracts, specifications, VOB/B references, variations, permits, acceptance records, photographs and plans accelerate the first assessment considerably.
Contact
A construction or development project with sensitive risk exposure?
In construction law, the biggest losses often arise where contract, permits and documentation are not aligned early enough.
