7. BGL in joint ventures - The Register of Construction Equipment plays an important part especially in joint ventures for building projects. If the partners of a joint venture transfer construction equipment intended for the execution of a building contract to the joint venture (provision of equipment), such transfer must be subject to contractual agreement. The application of the BGL as accounting basis in joint ventures is a generally recognized procedure and is even recommended in the current joint venture model agreement issued by the Hauptverband der Deutschen Bauindustrie

8. New feature of the BGL - The wear parts catalogue: the expenditure required to maintain the operational availability of construction equipment is an important part of the overall equipment costs. For this reason, the taking over of costs for equipment maintenance and care, repairs, rectification of damage and replacement of wear parts is - especially within joint ventures (JVs) - often a moot point which should be subject right from the beginning to a contractual agreement between the parties involved in the construction project in order to prevent subsequent disputes. In the meantime, a harmonized wear parts catalogue is available which has also been incorporated in the BGL.
