Abstract

In this presentation my objective is to set forth the issues and legal problems that may appear in a construction process in regards to a "building base" and regulations that exist in the Turkish legal system thereof Therefore I shall first scrutinize regarding legal regulations for related definitions, and then focus on liabilities regulated especially as a consequence of the earthquake in Marmara Region in 1999. Thirdly, in order to clarify the questions of "who is liable" and "who carries the risk" in Turkish construction law, I will work on the qualifications of regarding contracts in Turkish legal system. Finally, I will set forth the damages and recoveries thereof.
