Pre-construction enquiries, having construction contracts checked, insurance for the construction site and the construction workers – the legal side of construction is the least refreshing for most builders.

The Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV)
The Energy Saving Ordinance - EnEV - sets binding standards with regard to energy efficiency.
