GENERAL PLANNER CONTRACT

With the “GENERAL PLANNER CONTRACT,” an interdisciplinary general planner team (planner collective) made up of architects, civil engineers, expert planners and other specialists takes on overall-function project planning, planning and supervision work for a specific construction project.

In legal respects, the legal relationship of the general planner (planner collective; OR 530 ff.) with the principal is the same as that of the full architect.

The full architect is a planner, who is obligated in an “overall contract” with the execution of all architect services, which are necessary for the execution of the construction project.
