Litigation in Construction contracts.

French Construction Law sources are mostly the « Civil Code » and the « Code de la Construction et de l’Habitation ».

French law distinguishes three parties:

  1. Maître d’Ouvrage : the owner
  2. Maître d’Oeuvre : His mission is to conceive and direct the work ; usually he will be the architect or the general contractor
  3. Locateur d’ouvrage or entrepreneur : he is the contractor, the builder or the enterprise that intervenes under the control of the Maître d’Oeuvre

There are three main types of guarantees for the owner, the essential one is the Garantie Décennale, a ten year presumption of responsibility for the most inadequate wrongdoings.

In French law, construction contracts are highly specialized subcategories of contract law. Such as “Contrat de Construction de Maison Individuelle, CCMI” which is the basic construction contract or “Vente en l’Etat Futur d’Achèvement, VEFA”, a construction contract mixed with a selling contract.
