Drafting notes<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • The contractor must perform the work in accordance with the contract, the rules of the art and the applicable standards (art. 2100 C.C.Q.).<\/li>\n
  • The contractor is liable for poor workmanship for one year after acceptance (art. 2120 C.C.Q.) and for loss of the work for five years (art. 2118).<\/li>\n
  • An independent expert report is often decisive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
