Design-Builder’s Quality Sample Clauses

The 'Design-Builder’s Quality' clause defines the standards and expectations for the quality of work and materials provided by the design-builder in a construction project. It typically requires the design-builder to ensure that all design and construction services meet specified industry standards, codes, and the requirements outlined in the contract documents. For example, the clause may obligate the design-builder to use qualified personnel and approved materials, and to correct any deficiencies discovered during inspections. The core function of this clause is to ensure that the completed project meets the owner’s expectations and contractual requirements, thereby reducing the risk of defects and disputes over workmanship.
