Construction & Procurement

Entrepriseret – Sikker styring fra første spadestik til aflevering

We build a bridge between the technical requirements and the legal framework so that your construction project stays on course.

The construction industry is characterised by complex contractual relationships, tight schedules and significant financial stakes. A minor ambiguity in a contract can quickly escalate into a costly delay or a protracted dispute. At Schwartz & Partners, we provide specialised advice that ensures your projects rest on a solid legal foundation.

Professional advice in all phases of construction

We advise all parties involved in the construction process – including developers, contractors, architects and engineers. Our approach is solution-oriented; we prefer to prevent conflicts through razor-sharp agreements, but we are ready with extensive process experience if disagreements arise.

We offer expertise in:

Tendering and contract negotiation

Professional handling of AB 18, ABT 18 and ABR 18 as well as tailored deviations and additions.

Risk management and project support

Ongoing sparring during the construction process to handle additional work, deadline extensions and daily fines.

Defects and complaints

Handling of defect reviews upon delivery as well as 1- and 5-year inspections.

Opinion and assessment as well as dispute resolution

Experienced assistance in arbitration cases, mediation and legal aftermath under the auspices of the Danish Arbitration Board for Construction and Civil Engineering.

Specialist knowledge with industry understanding

Construction law is not just about law, but to a large extent about understanding the practice of construction. We speak the "language of the industry" and know how to navigate the tension between technical specifications and legal obligations. This ensures you receive advice that is directly applicable on the construction site and in the project office.

Our goal is to minimize your risk and ensure that the focus remains on what it's all about: building and creating value.
