Jan Willem Verbeke, ‘Cooperation in Construction Projects. What Does Contract Law Have to Offer?’

ABSTRACT
Due to the inherent complexity of a construction project (in particular the long duration, the large number of parties involved, the complexity of the subject matter and the uncertainty of environmental factors), cooperation and communication between all parties involved is required to complete the construction project. This article briefly examines how the duty to cooperate can be approached from a civil law perspective. By comparing Belgian, German and Dutch law, it attempts to contribute to a conceptual framework for the duty to cooperate and its enforcement in construction projects.
