Material Warranties are NOT Implied Against Contractors

 

Often, contractors (and subcontractors) enter into contracts pursuant to which they are obligated to not only install construction materials, but also to furnish those construction materials. Sometimes when a problem arises with the materials used, the other party to the contract will assert that the contractor breached an implied warranty to furnish materials that were defect free.

Professional Liability Policies 101
 
Even competent architects, engineers and other design professionals make mistakes. This is why there are professional liability policies. These policies provide an additional layer of protection for those hiring design professionals.

 

 

Lien Claim or Bond Claim? Or Both?

 

 

When you enter into an agreement to furnish labor, materials, and construction services, but that agreement requires the other party to pay you only after you have started performing, you are extending credit. No surprise, but not all owners and general contractors are credit-worthy.
