Document background
A Construction Letter of Intent is a crucial preliminary document used in Danish construction projects to establish the framework for pre-construction activities while the main contract is being finalized. It serves as a bridge between initial discussions and the final construction contract, typically used in situations where urgent preliminary works need to commence before the main contract is fully negotiated. Operating under Danish law, particularly the Aftaleloven and construction regulations, the document needs to carefully balance preliminary commitments with future contractual flexibility. The Letter of Intent includes key elements such as project scope, preliminary works authorization, basic commercial terms, and the process toward final contract formation. It's essential in the Danish construction sector to clearly distinguish between binding and non-binding provisions, as Danish courts may interpret certain commitments as legally binding even in preliminary documents.
