CMS #Recht.spannend | Episode 9
published on 12 January 2026
This episode of our vodcast CMS #Recht.spannend focuses on classic claim management and partnership-based processing. It highlights the expectations of public clients, documentation requirements, and the pressure for sustainability in the construction industry.
Stefan Honeder, CMS lawyer specialising in public procurement and construction contract law, hosts the vodcast and talks to his guests, DI (FH) DI Oliver Schwarz (VAMED-KMB Hospital Management and Operations Management, Managing Director) and Maximilian Uidl, CMS associate in the practice group Real Estate & Construction, about the future of construction contracts: from the shift to alliance/partnering models with early contractor involvement and lean management, to public clients' expectations of early fault reporting and complete documentation, to sustainability requirements between EU taxonomy, corporate compliance and investor expectations – and why clear service specifications, fair risk allocation and active cooperation are currently more effective than confrontational claim management.
