Document background
The Basic Building Contract serves as a foundational legal instrument for construction projects in Denmark, providing a structured framework for the relationship between employers and contractors. This document is typically used for straightforward construction projects where a standard form agreement is appropriate and extensive custom modifications are not required. It incorporates essential elements required under Danish construction law and generally follows the principles established in AB 18. The Basic Building Contract is designed to clearly define project scope, responsibilities, payment terms, and risk allocation while ensuring compliance with Danish regulatory requirements. It's particularly suitable for projects where the design is largely complete at the time of contracting and where the work scope is well-defined.
