Study Notes

Subcontracting in Construction

In a "fictitious ARGE" (likely a joint venture or partnership of several companies), work packages can be subcontracted.

Cost Overrun Procedures

A cost overrun request (MFK or Mehrkostenforderung) usually follows these steps:
- The client requests the contractor to change the scope (a change order)
- The contractor then submits the cost proposal for review.
- The client's representative organization then approves and agrees upon the changes.

Corporate Representatives

A "prokurist" has legal representation authority for the company.

Company Representatives

A managing director (Geschäftsführer) can represent a limited liability company (GmbH).

Licensing Requirements

Requirements to operate a business include:
- no prior convictions for financial crimes or other offenses
- be 18 years of age or older
- be a citizen of the European Economic Area (EEA) or the European Union (EU).

Zoning and Building Regulations

Building height limits are established by development plans (Flächenwidmungs- und Bebauungsplan).
Building setbacks are defined by regulations to prevent the construction of buildings too close to street edges.

Legal Proceedings

A "präkulation" in legal proceedings means losing the right to take action in a case.

Environmental Impact Assessment

The environmental impact assessment (UVP-Verfahren) aims to ensure thorough assessment before project approval, with public participation.

Subcontractors

A subcontractor receives a section of work from a main contractor, to carry out their tasks. They do so according to the terms of the agreement with the main contractor.

Construction Coordinator Duties

The construction coordinator represents the client at the construction site. They ensure compliance with all the procedures put in place to manage the construction site safely.

Liability Insurance

Insurance covers damages to other parties for negligent acts of a worker or subcontractor on the worksite.
