Rechtssichere Musterbriefe zur VOB/B

Legally compliant sample letters for VOB/B
For clients and contractors before, during and after the construction period

(Please note: This publication is only available in German.)

VOB/B provides the framework for the creation and fulfilment of contracts for the execution of construction work. While its requirements are largely clear and consistent, the area of VOB-related case law is constantly developing. New judgements and interpretations bring with them a changed legal situation and thus new necessities. Legal compliance is only possible on the basis of up-to-date knowledge of case law, and only those who have registered their claims correctly, in good time and verifiably will be successful in the event of a legal dispute.

This DIN Media Praxis volume contains a large number of sample letters as legally compliant templates and precise descriptions of the respective use cases. This collection of forms with its valuable explanations and notes helps before, during and after the construction period:

• to fulfil warning and notification obligations
• to fulfil the documentation obligation
• with legally compliant wording
• to avoid legal errors and omissions

A special feature of this volume is the inclusion of both perspectives: Both the contractor's and the client's point of view are taken into account.

The templates are also available for download in the DIN Mediathek.
