Document background
The Buyer Builder Agreement is a crucial legal document used in Belgium when engaging a construction company or builder for property construction projects. This agreement, regulated primarily by the Breyne Act and relevant provisions of the Belgian Civil Code, provides essential protection for buyers while establishing clear obligations for builders. It is particularly important in both residential and commercial construction projects where a buyer contracts a builder to construct a new property or undertake significant renovations. The document must comply with specific Belgian legal requirements including mandatory insurance provisions, consumer protection measures, and construction standards. It typically includes detailed specifications, payment schedules, completion timelines, and quality requirements, while addressing key aspects such as permits, warranties, and dispute resolution procedures. The agreement is fundamental in preventing disputes and ensuring clear communication between parties throughout the construction process.
