The Standard Construction Contract is designed for use in construction projects within the Netherlands, providing a comprehensive framework for managing construction relationships between clients and contractors. This document is particularly suitable for both commercial and residential construction projects where parties seek a balanced allocation of risks and responsibilities under Dutch law. It incorporates essential elements required by the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk Wetboek), Buildings Decree (Bouwbesluit), and other relevant construction regulations. The contract typically includes provisions for project execution, payment structures, quality requirements, warranties, and dispute resolution mechanisms, while allowing flexibility for project-specific modifications. It is commonly used in conjunction with the UAV 2012 (Uniform Administrative Conditions) and can be adapted for various scales of construction projects, from smaller residential developments to larger commercial constructions.
