for reuse
in construction

If you want to build, you need a binding and regulating contractual situation. When building with reusable components, this remains unchanged. However, new questions may arise during reuse, which are explained and taken into account in the following documents.

These documents were produced as part of the project "Reuse of components: Legal framework" co-financed by Innosuisse (project no. 55734.1 IP- SBM) in collaboration with Zirkular GmbH / baubüro in situ and the Zurich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW, School of Applied Sciences ZHAW, School of Management and Law, Department of Urban Planning and Environmental Law.

The documents are currently only available in German.
