Information on construction contract law is provided by the Association of Private Builders (VPB) in a free PDF document. Construction contract law in Germany has undergone a significant reform, which has been effective since 2018. This change represents a significant step in consumer protection, especially for those who invest in the construction or purchase of a property as a layperson. According to VPB, over 90 percent of private builders choose turnkey construction, with the new consumer construction contract playing a central role. This type of contract significantly strengthens the position of consumers by offering clear regulations and protective measures.
The reform of construction contract law covers various types of contracts, including building contracts, architect and engineer contracts and developer contracts. These changes are particularly relevant as the construction or purchase of a property often represents the largest investment in a person's life. The VPB brochure provides comprehensive information on this to ensure that consumers understand and can apply their rights and obligations.
It is crucial that consumers are aware of the new regulations in order to benefit from the improved protection measures. The brochure will be of interest to anyone involved in the construction or purchase of a property. It provides a solid basis for a safe and informed investment decision in the construction sector. Its production was supported by funding from the Federal Ministry of Justice and Consumer Protection.
