Document background
The Buyer Builder Agreement (Aannemingsovereenkomst) is a fundamental contract used in the Netherlands when a party wishes to engage a builder for construction work. This document is essential for both residential and commercial construction projects, providing a legally compliant framework under Dutch law for managing the construction process. It's particularly relevant when there's a need to clearly define the scope of construction work, establish payment terms, set quality standards, and allocate risks between parties. The agreement incorporates requirements from Dutch construction law, including the Buildings Decree (Bouwbesluit) and relevant provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. It's commonly used for new construction projects, major renovations, and development works, offering protection for both the buyer and builder while ensuring compliance with Dutch construction regulations and industry standards.
