Private construction law – Expert assistance at every stage of construction in Münster
Your interests are in safe hands with our attorneys
Construction sites inevitably present a wide range of challenges, regardless of the scope of a building project. At our law firm in Münster, we provide comprehensive support to developers and contractors in all matters relating to private construction law.
Private construction law governs the legal relationships between the various parties involved in a construction project—these include, among others, the client, executing companies, tradespeople, architects, as well as suppliers and other service providers. The key legal bases are the German Civil Code (BGB) and the German Construction Contract Procedures (VOB).
Because many parties are involved in a construction project, unforeseen problems can arise at any time. To minimise financial risks as effectively as possible, our attorneys in Münster support you from the initial planning through to the final acceptance of your project. Should conflicts arise, we represent your interests with commitment and professionalism both out of court and in court.

Our attorneys in Münster assist you in developing a contract that best protects your interests and ensures legal certainty throughout the entire construction process. Precisely worded provisions avoid misunderstandings and thus ensure that your project runs smoothly. Rely on our support in preparing a contract tailored to your individual needs that takes into account both your specific requirements and the applicable legal provisions.

Enforce warranty claims for construction defects effectively in Münster
Right to remedy defects
Unfortunately, construction damage occurs time and again and often presents developers with major challenges. As soon as defects are discovered upon acceptance of the building, the client has the right to demand that they be remedied. In that case, the contractor is obliged to rectify the identified damage at no additional cost. Acceptance itself is an important milestone—our attorneys in Münster support you competently and with commitment in this process.
A decisive factor in asserting warranty claims is the limitation periods anchored in construction law. Under the German Civil Code, the limitation period generally begins on the day of acceptance by the client and is five years. If no claims are asserted within this period, they expire automatically. However, different periods may apply to contracts under the VOB; therefore, a careful review by an attorney is recommended.
If defects were intentionally concealed by the contractor, the limitation period begins only at the time the client becomes aware of the defect. In such cases, a three-year period applies for enforcing any claims.
