Considerations on the Approach of the Contractual Agreement for Construction Works

The aim of this paper is to present a general outline of the Construction Works Contract Agreement under Romanian law and to provide some recommendations for its improvement, based mainly on German construction law. The authors noticed the existence of differences in this area between the EU Member States. Eastern countries that joined the EU after 2004 have less detailed regulations and technical standards for the construction works than Germany which has the most advanced system of regulations and standards in the EU in this area. The emphasis will be on the importance of the inclusion of the standardized specific terms and conditions into the Construction Works Contract Agreement, especially for public works.
