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.

Practical tip: Do not document only the defect. Also record who was informed, which response came and whether works continued. For ongoing construction law updates, you can subscribe to the Brandauer newsletter . If you want to discuss your situation, you can arrange an initial consultation (EUR 72).
Contract, plans, photos, correspondence, invoices, minutes and every authority document are important. The more complete the chronology, the more reliable the assessment.
At the latest before payment, acknowledgement, termination, repair or a statement to the other side, the case should be legally classified.
No. The legal position depends on contract, project status, evidence and the parties involved. This orientation only shows what should be clarified first.
In construction law, deadlines and evidence decide. Call us directly or send an email, callback within one business day.
