CONT

In most construction contracts, the warranty clause states that the owner must notify the contractor of any nonconforming work within one year of substantial completion in order to trigger the contractor's obligation to make repairs without any additional cost to the owner. In most instances, the owner may assert a claim against the contractor for negligent, nonconforming, or defective construction, or for cost overruns, at any time within the applicable statute of limitations.
