Construction order without written contract: make offer, confirmation, payment and start of works provable.
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.
A construction order is not always created by a signed contract document. Offer, confirmation, email, start of works and part payment may later become central evidence.
The decisive point is not one document alone, but the provable overall context. Who ordered, which works were meant and how price or billing can be determined must remain traceable.
This article shows which evidence should be secured first when a construction order has no written contract.
