The difference between civil and public construction law

As mentioned earlier, various parties are affected by the extensive legal regulations that govern the construction process. In simple terms, you can divide construction law into two categories: civil construction law and public construction law. Civil construction law regulates the legal relations between natural persons or legal entities. Public construction law applies to projects involving government.
