Key Requirements PROMPT example:

"I need a Minor Works Agreement under German law for a residential bathroom renovation project in Munich, with work to commence in March 2025 and including specific provisions for noise restrictions and working hours in a residential building."

Document background

The Minor Works Agreement is designed for use in smaller construction projects under German law where a formal contractual arrangement is necessary but a full-scale construction contract would be disproportionate. It is particularly suitable for renovation works, small-scale building projects, and minor modifications to existing structures where the project value and complexity do not warrant more extensive contractual documentation. The agreement incorporates essential provisions from the German Civil Code (BGB) and relevant aspects of VOB/B, while maintaining accessibility and practicality. It includes key sections covering scope definition, pricing, timeline, warranties, and liability, all structured to comply with German legal requirements while remaining straightforward to implement and administer.

Suggested Sections

1. Parties: Identification and details of the contracting parties (Employer and Contractor)

2. Background: Brief context of the agreement and the works to be performed

3. Definitions: Key terms used throughout the agreement

4. Scope of Works: Detailed description of the works to be performed, including reference to specifications

5. Contract Price and Payment: Amount payable, payment schedule, and invoicing requirements

6. Time for Completion: Project timeline, completion date, and any milestone dates

7. Contractor Obligations: Key responsibilities of the contractor including quality standards and compliance requirements

8. Employer Obligations: Key responsibilities of the employer including site access and information provision

9. Variations: Process for handling changes to the scope of works

10. Defects and Warranties: Defects liability period and warranty provisions as per BGB requirements

11. Insurance and Liability: Required insurance coverage and liability limitations

12. Termination: Grounds and process for contract termination

13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction: Confirmation of German law application and jurisdiction

14. Signatures: Execution blocks for both parties

Optional Sections

1. Design Responsibility: Include when the contractor has design obligations beyond pure construction works

2. Materials and Equipment: Include when specific requirements for materials procurement or equipment provision need to be detailed

3. Site Conditions: Include when specific site restrictions or conditions need to be addressed

4. Permits and Approvals: Include when responsibility for obtaining permits needs to be clearly allocated

5. Subcontracting: Include when subcontracting needs to be specifically regulated or restricted

6. Force Majeure: Include when specific force majeure provisions beyond standard BGB provisions are required

7. Dispute Resolution: Include when specific dispute resolution procedures beyond court jurisdiction are desired

Suggested Schedules

1. Schedule 1 - Scope of Works: Detailed technical specification and drawings of the works

2. Schedule 2 - Price Breakdown: Detailed breakdown of the contract price and payment schedule

3. Schedule 3 - Programme: Detailed timeline and milestone dates

4. Schedule 4 - Site Information: Site details, access requirements and any known site conditions
