Clients gain a stronger foothold in simple construction and serial construction. The contractor remains liable after the delivery for visible and hidden defects. Market players are now responsible for quality control and ensure that the building meets the statutory requirements. Monitoring the quality of construction is faster and cheaper. In addition, getting the client, both a private and a business, one point of contact.
The current system of quality control to be redrafted because of increasing complexity in the construction, the need for positive incentives for building parties and an unclear division of roles and responsibilities. The Ministerial Council on a proposal by Minister of Housing and National Bloc approved the bill ‘quality of building.
Stronger position clients
What is new is that the contractor after the completion law is liable for defects in the structure which can be attributed to him. Unlike now, the contractor of the new system is not only liable for hidden but visible defects which were noticed by the customer at a delivery may be. This with private clients are allowed no agreements. Contractors also have the duty to inform their client whether and how they are insured against risks of a bankruptcy of the company and for defects during construction and afterwards.
If the last term of the contract (maximum 5%) is deposited in escrow with the notary, this reverses the deposit amount after entry into force of the law only if two conditions are met. The notary must receive written proof of the contractor that he is the principal has been informed of his right of suspension and the client has not indicated that he wants to exercise his right of suspension. This automatism disappears that the solicitor deposit amount three months after delivery payment from the contractor if he has not heard from the client. With these measures, the position of the principal stronger against the contractor.
