Document background
This Simple Construction Contract is designed for use in the Danish market where construction projects must comply with specific local regulations and industry standards. The document serves as a fundamental agreement between an employer/client and a contractor, incorporating essential elements of Danish construction law while remaining more accessible than the full AB 18 standard form. It is particularly suitable for straightforward construction projects where the comprehensive AB 18 conditions might be too complex. The contract includes provisions for scope of works, payment terms, completion timelines, and quality requirements, while ensuring compliance with Danish legal requirements. It's structured to be clear and user-friendly while maintaining legal robustness, making it ideal for small to medium-sized construction projects in Denmark.
