The UAV-GC 2025: Key Changes

On 14 January 2025, the Uniform Administrative Conditions for Integrated Contracts 2025 (UAV-GC) was published, introducing significant modifications affecting both the employers and contractors. A key modification is the obligation for both parties to act proactively and maintain continuous communication. Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms have also been introduced offering greater flexibility in managing conflicts. Additionally, revisions to the employer's duty to provide information and certain contractual provisions impact the contractor's responsibilities. Notably, new regulations clarify contractor liability before completion and impose further limitations on liability post-completion. While these updates aim to enhance collaboration and define responsibilities more clearly, their practical implications remain to be seen.
