The Building Construction Agreement is a fundamental legal document used in Danish construction projects to establish a binding contractual relationship between a building owner/employer and a contractor. It is essential for any construction project in Denmark, from residential developments to commercial buildings, and must comply with Danish construction law, particularly AB 18 (General Conditions for Building and Construction Works). The agreement covers crucial aspects including scope of works, payment structures, timelines, quality standards, risk allocation, and dispute resolution mechanisms. It should be used whenever engaging a contractor for construction works in Denmark, ensuring all parties understand their obligations and rights while maintaining compliance with local building regulations, environmental requirements, and safety standards. The document typically includes various schedules and technical specifications that detail the practical aspects of the construction project.
