European Society of Construction Law Annual Conference & Workshop 2024
Design — Vocabulary, Responsibilities & Liabilities across Europe
18 October 2024 — Provinciehuis Antwerpen, Antwerp, Belgium
About the conference
Hosted by the Belgian Society of Construction Law at the Provinciehuis in Antwerp, the annual conference of the European Society of Construction Law was devoted to design: the vocabulary used to describe it, and the responsibilities and liabilities it creates across European jurisdictions. Speakers from thirteen countries addressed the architect’s monopoly over drawings, the design liability of the Prüfingenieur and of the maître d’ouvrage délégué, construction standards as a measure of good rather than best engineering practice, early contractor involvement in bouwteam, alliance and partnership structures, materials choices and variations as design decisions, fitness for purpose and professional indemnity insurance, and the limits of borderline engineering and prototypes.
Among the members of the Society of Construction Law Romania attending the conference, Răzvan Rugină took part as a speaker in its proceedings, addressing The position of the (authorities’ appointed) design certifier in a session shared with Adriana Spassova of the Bulgarian Society of Construction Law.
