1. Background

The Dutch Ministry of Housing, Regional Development and the Environment engaged the Dutch Institute for Construction Law at the end of 2009 to draft a proposal for a technical revision of the 1989 Uniform Administrative Conditions for the Execution of Works ("UAV 1989"). A working group headed by Professor M.A.M.C. van den Berg was set up for this purpose.

On commencement of its assignment, the working group had (in brief) the following objectives: to bring the terminology of the UAV- GC 2005 into line with that of the Dutch Civil Code ("DCC"), to make any changes necessitated by the addition of title 12 ("contracting of work") to Book 7 of the DCC and to address bottlenecks from case law and legal literature.1
