The construction of buildings is subject to private building and property law as well as public building and plant construction law. Personal and competent answers to legal questions are of considerable economic importance to builders, planners, general contractors down to the smallest subcontractor as well as landlords and tenants.

No project without permits and conditions. Use of the soil and other environmental media is tightly regulated: by public construction law, plant permission law, nature conservation law, soil protection law, immission control law up to water law. Regulations on material substances such as e.g. waste law and chemicals law (REACH) do increase in their regulatory effect ever-stronger. If regulations are not met, this may not only lead to stoppage and limitations of a project but also indicate that management has to face severe sanctions.

The examination of environmental law, the ’Compliance’, has gained special importance because it will safeguard that the environmental regulations are met and by this help to avoid the risk of liability towards authorities and third parties.
