Do you know what to do if services change or are cancelled and a construction contract needs to be amended accordingly? The topic of addendum within the framework of the VOB/B is of great importance in the legal landscape surrounding construction contracts, with many different aspects quickly making the situation confusing. This book from the DIN Media Recht series provides a remedy: Precise in content and in a compact format, it offers a wealth of information for reference, including many overviews, tables and practical examples as well as sample formulations.

The content has been selected from practice for practice and covers relevant points such as the changes in case law since the publication of the VOB/B edition 2016-09, the new addendum system of the German Civil Code and the reform of construction contract law from 2018. With its numerous practical working aids and optimally prepared knowledge, “The addendum according to VOB/B” is an exceptionally useful work for people in construction management, legal departments, authorities and similar positions.

These topics can be found among many others in “The addendum according to VOB/B“:

• Determination of the “as planned” construction
• Contract design
• Price fluctuations
• Construction time addenda
   

Handling addenda effectively and with legal certainty

The topic of “addendum” is as sensitive as it is extensive - especially in times of rapidly changing external conditions such as fluctuating raw material and energy prices and rapidly developing legal and political framework conditions. Anyone who wants to amend or supplement contracts that have already been concluded must know their options, rights and obligations precisely. This book offers exactly what you need to deal with addenda confidently and competently:

• In-depth expertise
  Types of contract, interpretations, terminology, legal principles — all the basic knowledge about addenda is presented here in a clear and easy-to-understand manner.
