<\/a>Construction legislation<\/h2>\n

During the construction phase it is important to keep track of whatever changes may occur in contract conditions.<\/p>\n

As a starting point, contract work will be carried out as agreed in the contract.\u00a0 \u00a0In case it should prove necessary to change the contract conditions, it is required to draw up an additional contract, stating agreed alterations \u2013 Cf. AB92 <\/a><\/u>section14, subs.2 \/ Ab 18 \u00a7 25 subsection 4.<\/p>\n

As a minimum it is required that the agreement is entered in the minutes from the site meeting. However, it is better to fill in an agreement form \u00a0– can be downloaded from The Danish Construction Association \u00a0(Dansk byggeri<\/a>)<\/u>.<\/p>\n

In connection with the agreement on extra work the client can demand supplementary security from the contractor. The contractor is entitle to know before giving his price for the extra work so he is able to include the cost for the security in the price re. AB 92 \u00a7 14 \/ AB 18 \u00a7 25. Be aware that the reduction of the security goes from the contract sum including extra work even though the client hasn\u2019t ask for extra security when the work was agreed on \/done.<\/p>\n

In cases where the contract is extended by the inclusion of extra works the contractor may, however, demand an increase of the clients\u2019 security – if the remuneration for all extra works \u2013 excepting those already paid for \u2013 exceeds 50 % of one month\u2019s average payment as agreed in the initial contract – cf AB92 <\/a><\/u>section14 \/ AB 18 \u00a7 10<\/p>\n

The contractor takes care of registrations, applies for permits, asks for inspection and procures certificates –\u00a0all in relation to the execution of the agreed work. The contractor also covers whatever costs this may accrue.
\nThe contractor bears the risk for all work until it is handed over. He is also responsible for maintenance of work done until handing over.\u00a0Hence, it is important that the contractor takes out an insurance covering his contract area against accidental damages such as, theft, wanton destruction and weather impact \u2013 areas not covered by the client\u2019s insurance against fire and storm.<\/p>\n

The client\u2019s payment obligations appears from\u00a0 \u00a0AB92<\/a><\/u>, \u00a7 22 \/ AB18 \u00a7 36.<\/p>\n

Payments are made on the basis of interim payments \u2013 any deviations from this method of payment shall appear in the tender documents.<\/p>\n

According to AB 92 the contractor is entitled to get paid once a month for work performed, according to AB 18 twice a month.<\/p>\n

Work must be carried out in accordance with the agreed time schedule and the contractor is only entitled to extensions of time limits in case of delay of the work as described\u00a0 AB 92<\/a><\/u> , \u00a724 \/ AB18 \u00a7 39.\u00a0 Sanctions in the case of delays will be compensation in accordance with Danish legislation or \u2013 if agreed on penalties.<\/p>\n

In case of disputes during construction it is important to secure and gather evidence. This may take place by requesting an inspection and survey by experts of the work in question.\u00a0 \u00a0In this case one of the parties forwards a petition for inspection by<\/p>\n

experts and survey to the Building and Construction\u00a0 Arbitration Board in Copenhagen. The rules applying to inspection and survey by experts are outlined\u00a0\u00a0 AB 92, sections 45 and 46. \/AB 18 \u00a7 66<\/p>\n

Disputes in cases where AB 92 \/ AB 18 is a part of the agreement are heard by the Arbitration Board. Be aware of the \u201cDispute treating system\u201d in AB 18 chapter J.<\/p>\n

Decisions made by the Arbitration Board are irrevocable.<\/p>\n

In case AB 92 is not applicable, legal action shall be taken through the court of law.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Script<\/h2>\n

<\/a>General<\/h2>\n

The script concept derives from film production.\u00a0The script describes every single scene of action (process) down to the last detail. The script is prepared\u00a0 because film production is very costly and nothing must fail.
\nThe same applies to construction work and this is the reason why it is an advantage to use the same tool in this context.<\/p>\n

Top of page<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Background<\/h2>\n

Construction\/renovation of a building involves a number of construction processes.\u00a0Knowledge about the content and the interrelationship of these processes\u00a0 are essential conditions in order to be able to carry out\u00a0 rational construction and at the same time achieve tight management and good quality assurance throughout the building process.<\/p>\n

Top of page<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Purpose<\/h2>\n

A script is worked out with the purpose of familiarizing with the construction processes and thereby achieve a systematic overview aimed at a successful completion of work in own production.<\/p>\n

Top of page<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/a>Tools<\/h2>\n

As an example one could select two processes in own production and make a breakdown into the activities involved in the selected processes. Subsequently, the individual activities are systematically scrutinized and script notes are made \u2013 possibly in a systematic list.
\nThe connections to preceding and succeeding activities are noted down. Notes, indicating necessary check points\u00a0as well as tools and accessories (material catalogues)\u00a0to be used during construction,\u00a0are entered.\u00a0 Such notes could refer to scaffolding, crane, form work, barricading, waste containers etc. A materials catalogue listing all necessary materials is also worked out as well as risk assessment of individual activities.<\/p>\n
