Unwritten code: Drainage system is no “extra”
$225.00
Description
Abstract: When, after signing a contract for a new building, a doctor found out that local building codes required the construction of a commercial building drainage system, she disputed the additional charge. The court’s finding illustrates that every construction contract calling for code compliance includes, by such reference, all the provisions of the applicable building codes and laws just as if they were written into the contract — whether or not the contractor is aware of them.
