As it is with the majority of construction issues, the answer to who is responsible often depends on various factors.
Many challenges can crop up when working on a construction project. Among these challenges, errors are the last thing that contractors or project owners want to face. Yet, they are not uncommon as you navigate the process.
Design errors or mistakes are one such issue that can result in serious construction disputes and delays. It is important to determine who is liable when it comes to defects and design errors.
So, who is responsible for design errors?
Many might assume the architect – or the person who created the project design – is responsible for design errors. That is not necessarily true.
