BRANDAUER Rechtsanwälte
Salzburg law firm for real estate, construction and corporate law
Every matter is handled by a coordinated team of lawyers, legal staff and specialists. In construction cases we look at contract, evidence, deadlines and commercial consequences together.
Accessibility is often recognised too late as a legal issue in construction projects. New build, renovation, lift, ramp, access or door width combine technical requirements, permits, condominium law and cost questions.
Not every sensible measure is automatically easy to implement. In existing buildings, structure, fire safety, neighbour rights, common property and reasonableness may matter.
This article treats accessibility as an interface between building technology and civil law. It avoids pseudo-precise measurements.
