Responsibility

The law of 4 January 1978, the Spinetta law, considers all parties involved in the construction of the building - contractors, architects, engineers, Bureaux de contrôle, manufacturers and importers of products and components to carry some responsibility. Contractual responsibility starts from the conception of the works and may run for a period of beyond practical completion for a maximum period of 30 years. Special responsibility covers:

• Responsibility of perfect achievement: introduced by the 1978 law and running for a period of one year starting from handover of the works to the client.
• Biennial responsibility for satisfactory functioning: introduced by the law of 1967 to cover minor works and lasting for a period of two years starting from handover of the works to the client
• Decennial responsibility: as set out in articles 1792 and 2270 of the Napoleonic Code and lasting for a period of 10 years starting from the handover of works to the client. This covers two aspects, the solidity of construction and the fitness for purpose.
• Third party responsibility under common law: starting from the moment the third party is damaged and (since 1985) lasting for a period of 10 years.

I do a 2 and 10 year warranty. Try 30
