Norwegian construction law lawyers

Norwegian construction law lawyers

We offer legal guidance on Norwegian building and construction laws and regulations.
Construction projects in Norway are governed by strict contractual rules, and issues that surface late are often the most costly to resolve. This applies to Norwegian and foreign companies alike, particularly around notification deadlines under Norwegian Standard (NS) contracts, where missing a deadline can mean losing your right to payment or an extension of time.
Aider Legal helps you address the legal aspects of your project early, so you stay compliant and protected from planning through completion. Our support spans contract selection, negotiations, change orders and claims, and final account disputes.

NORWEGIAN STANDARD CONTRACTS

What you need to know about Norwegian standard (NS) contracts

Norwegian Standard (NS) is an increasingly important part of Norwegian construction law and is now used by everyone from sole proprietors to large contractors. However, we often see that NS is only referenced in contract documents without the contract being carefully read. This can lead to challenges during the project.

To succeed with NS contracts, it is crucial to understand the rules and obligations that come with them. A good knowledge of the provisions can save both time and money, especially when unforeseen events arise. NS provides tools for handling such situations, but it often requires specific notifications within tight deadlines to utilize these.

We offer advice on NS contracts and the opportunities they provide. Additionally, we offer tailored training for employees and managers, so your company can make the most of NS contracts. Feel free to contact us for more information or to arrange in-house training.
