Contract forms and documents

In order to make the implementation of these practices as flexible as possible, Building Information has produced various examples, ranging from general contract documents to consumer documents and property surveys for house sales.
Comparing tenders or interpreting contracts is easy due to the established contractual practices and standardised document templates in the construction sector. In this respect, shared terminology is important. Some of the documents are also available in English.
