§ 942 Homeowner Construction Standards Claim

• •If your new house has problems because of bad building work, you can complain without proving who caused it or how much it cost you.
• •You just need to show that the house doesn’t meet the building rules.
• •The problem must be from when the house was first built, not from something that happened later.
• •The builder can defend themselves if they have a good reason, like if the problem was your fault.

You buy a new house, and after a few months, you notice the roof leaks every time it rains.

You can complain to the builder because the roof should have been built right the first time. You don’t have to prove how the roof was built wrong or how much it will cost to fix it. You just need to show that the roof leaks and it’s because of bad building work when the house was made.
