The 20 Day Preliminary Notice, adapted for use within the German legal framework, serves as a crucial document in construction projects to protect payment rights and establish clear communication channels. While this notice type originates from US construction law, it has been modified to align with German legal requirements, including the German Civil Code (BGB), Construction Contract Procedures (VOB/B), and relevant commercial regulations. The document should be used early in construction projects to formally notify property owners, general contractors, and other relevant parties about the provider's involvement in the project, the scope of work or materials being provided, and the expected compensation. This formal notice helps prevent payment disputes and establishes a clear paper trail for potential future claims under German construction law.
