The Myth Of The “Standard” One-Year Construction WarrantyMark T. Coffin, Attorney at Law

ed bid, or 3.) may be created when construction actually begins, assuming the parties had a clear understanding of price and scope of work. Once a contractor completes the work, the law will “imply” a warranty that the work was done in a workmanlike manner, according to current con-struction practices, applicable codes and regula-tions. Implied warranties can also be imposed by statute.

Well then, how long does an implied warranty last? I hate to use phrases like “it depends.” How-ever, several additional questions come into play, such as what kind of construction project is involved, and what kind of trades, services, or products were provided.

New Residential Construction: Since 2003, new residential construction sold in California has been subject to a statute com-monly known as SB 800, which imposes a man-datory one-year “fit and finish” warranty on contractors. (Civil Code § 900.) This particular code is probably the closest thing to a “standard” one-year warranty in California. The term “fit and finish” is not defined in the statute, but is gener-ally understood to apply to aesthetic elements such as cabinets, countertops, mirrors, painted finishes, and exterior and interior walls. “Func-tional” defects (for example structural or water intrusion problems) are also addressed in SB 800, and several different categories of defects are each given their own mandatory statute of

Continued on page 16

There seems to be a widely-held perception that there is a “standard one-year warranty” for con-struction work in California. As a lawyer, I am not sure where this belief comes from, although I have a few ideas. If it does exist, when does this “standard” warranty apply, and what does it cov-er? Will a contractor’s legal exposure for breach of warranty end after a year? As you might guess the answers to these seemingly simple questions are not so simple (at least not to a lawyer!).

Construction warranties can be divided into two general categories: express (written) and implied (oral) warranties. Although 1-year war-ranties are frequently seen in construction con-tracts, there is no “one-size-fits-all” time period that automatically applies in all situations. In fact, one possible explanation for the one-year myth is that several nationally-recognized orga-nizations (such as the AIA, for example) include express one-year warranties in their form con-tracts. Subject to certain consumer protection statutes however, written warranties can be for as long as the contractor cares to make them, and may specifically disclaim or limit warranties associated with construction work.

What if there is no written contract, or the writ-ten contract does not address warranty at all? California recognizes the legal principle of “im-plied” warranties associated with construction contracts. Enforceable contracts may: 1.) be completely verbal, 2.) consist of a signed, accept-

limitations period. The longest such period is ten years, which pertains to structural defects. SB 800 does not apply to most remodels, condo conversions, or non-residential projects. (Civil Code § 896.)

Under SB 800, the “outside limit” limitations peri-od runs from “10 years after substantial comple-tion.” (Civil Code § 941(a).) However, the statute was intended to protect homebuyers. For that reason, the statutory 1-, 2-, 4- and 5- year warran-ties all run from the “close of escrow.” (Civil Code § 896.) Keep in mind that a home or condo many not sell until well after completion of construc-tion, and contractors may not even know when a sale occurs!

A builder may choose to offer an enhanced war-ranty, known as an “enhanced protection agree-ment.” (Civil Code § 901.) A builder offering this enhanced warranty may choose to be subject to its own express contractual provisions, in place of the standard terms set out in SB 800. How-ever, an enhanced warranty cannot diminish the statutory warranty protections.

Non-Residential Construction: For commercial/industrial projects, remodels, or residential construction sold before 2003, implied warranties are subject to different time periods. The statute of limitations for a breach of written contract (whether express or implied)

ERGONOMICS

Ergonomics literally means “the rules of human strength”. Engineers interested in the design of work environments originated the word in the 1950’s. Today, the purpose of ergonomics in the workplace is to create a better match between the worker, the work they perform, and the equipment they use. A good match increases worker productivity and reduces ergonomic injuries.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 34% of all lost-workday injuries and illnesses are work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs). WMSDs are a result of a bad match between the worker, the work they perform and the equipment they use. More common names for WMSDs include repetitive stress injuries, cumulative trauma disorders, tennis elbow, white finger, and the most common of all, carpal tunnel syndrome.

Nearly every type of work or occupation has the potential for causing WMSDs. To prevent these injuries, it is important to understand the factors that contribute to them. Ergonomic factors refer to workplace conditions that pose the risk of injury to the musculoskeletal system of the worker.

Factors that contribute to the development of WMSDs include:

Force – the strength to perform a task. Repetition – the frequency or number of times a task is performed during a shift. Posture – positioning of the body to perform a task. Vibration – which might come from overuse of power hand tools. Temperature – extreme temperatures are more harmful to the body. Duration – the amount of time in a workday spent performing work tasks. Non-work related issues – health, lifestyle, hobbies, sports may add to the ergonomic risk factors.

Identifying and preventing WMSDs requires a careful review of these risk factors. Prevention may require modification of one or more of these factors.

The first step is to find out which jobs may be causing problems. This can be done by looking around your workplace, talking to employees, and learning the early warning signs. Signs to look for include; employee discomfort or fatigue, employees modifying tools or equipment, poor product quality, or employee reports of problems. Another way to identify problem areas is to review the written records, i.e., OSHA 200 and 300 logs and workers compensation information. Once the jobs have been identified, make a list of these jobs.

The second step is to look at the specific tasks that make up the jobs previously identified. When looking at each task, determine how frequent it occurs (one time per shift or twenty times per hour), and how hard is each task (from the employee’s point of view).

The third step is to observe the work tasks. Special attention should be paid to how many of the above risk factors are associated with the job task. The higher the number of risk factors associated with a job, the greater the chance that a WMSD might develop. Talking to the employees who perform the work can often provide valuable information about how the work task may be improved.

It is important to remember to observe all work tasks associated with a job, because each task may have a risk factor. WMSDs can be associated with a combination of risk factors from multiple tasks.

LA ERGONOMÍA

Ergonomía literalmente significa “las reglas de la fortaleza humana”. Los ingenieros interesados en el diseño de ambientes de trabajo crearon la palabra en la década de los cincuenta. En la actualidad, el propósito de la ergonomía en el sitio de trabajo es crear una mejor combinación entre el trabajador, el trabajo que ejecuta y los equipos que usa. Una combinación acertada aumenta la productividad del trabajador y reduce las lesiones de origen ergonómico. Según el Departamento de Estadísticas del Trabajo, 34% de todas las lesiones y enfermedades que resultan en ausencia del trabajo son trastornos de los músculos o el esqueleto relacionados con el trabajo (WMSD, por sus siglas en inglés). Los WMSD son resultado de una falta de coordinación entre el trabajador, el trabajo que ejecuta y los equipos que usa. Los nombres más comunes que se le aplican a los WMSD incluyen lesiones por estrés repetitivo, trastornos traumáticos acumulativos, codo de tenista, “dedo blanco” y el más común de todos, el síndrome del túnel carpiano. Prácticamente todos los tipos de trabajo y ocupaciones tienen el potencial de ocasionar WMSD. Para prevenir esas lesiones, es importante entender los factores que contribuyen a que ocurran. Los factores ergonómicos están relacionados con condiciones en el sitio de trabajo que representan un riesgo de lesiones al sistema musculoesquelético del trabajador. Los factores que contribuyen al desarrollo de WMSD incluyen:

Fuerza – la fortaleza necesaria para ejecutar una tarea.

Repetición – la frecuencia o el número de veces que se ejecuta una tarea durante un turno de trabajo.

Postura – la posición del cuerpo necesaria para ejecutar una tarea.

Vibración – que puede provenir del uso excesivo de herramientas de mano motorizadas.

Temperatura – los extremos de temperatura son más dañinos al cuerpo humano.

Duración – la cantidad de tiempo dedicada a ejecutar tareas de trabajo en una jornada laboral.

Asuntos no relacionados con el trabajo – salud, estilo de vida, pasatiempos, deportes pueden contribuir a los factores ergonómicos de riesgo.

Para identificar y prevenir los WMSD se requiere una revisión cuidadosa de esos factores de riesgo. La prevención puede requerir la modificación de uno o más de dichos factores.

El primer paso es descubrir cuáles tareas pueden estar ocasionando los problemas. Esto se puede lograr observando su sitio de trabajo, hablando con empleados, y conociendo los indicios tempranos de aviso. Los signos significativos incluyen, malestar o fatiga del empleado, modificaciones a herramientas o equipos por parte de los empleados, mala calidad de los productos, o informes de problemas por los empleados. Otra manera de identificar áreas con problemas es estudiar los registros escritos, por ejemplo, los listados 200 y 300 de OSHA e información de compensación del seguro obrero. Una vez que se hayan identificado los trabajos, se debe hacer una lista de ellos.

El segundo paso es observar las tareas específicas que comprenden los trabajos previamente identificados. Cuando se examine cada tarea, se debe determinar con cuánta frecuencia ocurre (una vez por turno o veinte veces por hora), y lo difícil que es cada tarea (desde el punto de vista del empleado).

El tercer paso es observar las tareas del trabajo. Se debe prestar atención especial a cuántos factores de riesgo están asociados con la tarea del trabajo. Cuanto mayor sea el número de factores de riesgo asociados con el trabajo, mayores serán las probabilidades de que se pueda desarrollar un WMSD. Hablar con los empleados que ejecutan el trabajo a menudo puede ayudar a recabar información importante acerca de cómo la tarea del trabajo se puede mejorar.

Es importante recordar que se deben observar todas las tareas asociadas con cada trabajo, porque cada tarea puede tener un factor de riesgo. Los WMSD pueden estar asociados con una combinación de factores de riesgo provenientes de múltiples tareas. Para obtener información más detallada, conéctese al sitio Web que mantiene la Administración de Salud y Seguridad Ocupacional (OSHA, por sus siglas en inglés) en http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/ergonomics/index.html.

Kalb’s Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb & Shauna Krause, Capitol Services, Inc.

Can an old CA contractor’s license be brought back to life again when it ‘died’ a decade ago? The ‘mettle’ of a framing contractor is tested and we finish by helping readers learn what it takes to pull together to form a ‘joint venture’ effort…

Q: My husband had a CA license and failed to renew it on time. It expired back in 2000. Now he wants to renew it. He currently has an Arizona “K-11” (Electrical) license that he has held for ap-prox 12yrs. How does he go about this in the quickest way, as we are looking to move to CA early next year? A: Thank you for contacting Capitol Services Inc. Because his CA license has been expired for over 5 years he can no longer ‘renew’ it. He can how-ever re-apply for the license and request that the number be re-issued. As you may know, there is a reciprocal agreement between CA and AZ so he can request to waive the trade exam based on the fact that he has been licensed for the past five years in Arizona. He’ll still be required to take the law test again. The process to obtain the license will likely take about 8 weeks, so if you begin soon, he will have the license before you move. Let us know if you’d like help with the process.

Q: I need assistance with determining what clas-sification my company will need to meet the re-quirements to do metal stud framing in the State of California. I don’t do Structural Steel, just the metal stud framing. I also handle the drywall and insulation to finish off the wall, so I’m not sure if I need separate classifications to do that, or if it would be covered under the framing. Thank you in advance. A: In order to do the metal stud framing you’ll need a “C-5” (Framing and Rough Carpentry) classification. Even though drywall and insula-tion are part of your projects, the CSLB will re-quire you to have the “C-2” (Insulation) and “C-9” (Drywall) classifications to perform this work because the “C-5” doesn’t cover these trades. Ac-cording to the CSLB, the “B” classification would cover you for all three trades; however, in our ex-perience we have found it is difficult to qualify for the exam without electrical, concrete, roofing and/or plumbing experience.

Q: I am inquiring about the fees and require-ments to set up a Joint Venture with another contractor. I want to bid a project that requires both “C-20”(HVAC) and “C-10”(Electrical) licens-es. My firm only holds the HVAC and would like

to partner with another contractor whom holds both. Please let me know what all is required, particularly the application process.

A: A Joint Venture (JV) consists of two or more entities, each of which holds a valid CA contrac-tor’s license in good standing. Since you hold the “C-20”, you could locate a company with the “C-10” or, as indicated, “another contractor whom holds both”. A JV application signed by all Qualifiers and an Officer of record for each en-tity is required. You’ll also need to post a $12,500 Contractor’s Bond, which is in addition to the bond you presently have on your corporate li-cense. Further, a new Worker’s Comp policy (or certified Exemption) is necessary. The State fee will run $555.00.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assis-tance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

Products & Materials: So far we have discussed warranty issues rel-evant to contractors – i.e. businesses that per-form the “service” of construction. A separate body of law found in the California Commercial Code typically applies to suppliers of construc-tion products and materials. (Where a construc-tion contract involves both goods and services, courts will examine the “essence” of the trans-action to see which element predominates.) In addition to express warranties, the Commercial Code deals with two kinds of implied warranties: 1.) “implied warranties of merchantability” (that the product is of the quality that a buyer would reasonably expect) and 2.) “implied warranties of fitness for a particular purpose” (based on some advertising or prior communications that the product will meet the buyer’s particular expec-tations).

Under the Commercial Code, the time period for a breach of oral or written warranty is four years after the claim “accrues.” (The parties can contract to reduce this period to not less than one year, but cannot extend it.) Accrual can be a fact-intensive determination, but generally means that both the breach and damage have occurred, and are known to the claimant. If the warranty pertains to future performance, the four-year period starts when the claimant “knew


is four years from the date of the breach. (Code of Civil Procedure § 337.) An implied warranty based on oral contract has a time limit of two years. (CCP § 339.) Typically these periods are triggered by the date when an owner detects damage which clearly results from defective construction.

It should be noted that “warranty” duties are nor-mally owed to the owner or party that a builder has contracted with. However, non-contracting parties can bring different legal theories against a contractor, such as negligence, strict liability, and nuisance. In these situations, the outside time limit for a claim is often measured by the nature of the defect itself. “Patent” defects which are obvious to the naked eye have a 4-year statu-tory period. (CCP § 337.1.) However, a contractor can be liable for “latent,” or hidden defects for up to ten years. (CCP § 337.15.) Both statutes pro-vide are triggered by “substantial completion” of the improvement, and apply to both warranty and non-warranty claims.

Essentially the same time periods apply to an owner’s right to file a complaint with the Con-tractor’s State License Board – 4 years for patent defects, and 10 years for latent defects. (Busi-ness & Professions Code § 7091(a) & (b).)

or should have known” of the breach. (Cal. Com-mercial Code § 2725.)

If you have made it to the end of this article, you probably realize that analyzing warranty issues in a given situation can be complex, and there really is no such thing as a “standard” one-year construction warranty. Also, statutes of limita-tion can be subject to a number of exceptions, which attorneys representing warranty claim-ants typically try to find and exploit. This article is intended for general information, not legal ad-vice, and is not an exhaustive discussion of the complex issues associated with the statutes and their exceptions. If you have a question or a case that concerns a statute of limitation, you should consult an attorney.

In addition to his law degree, Mr. Coffin has a master’s degree in business administration and belongs to a number of construction trade associations. He can be con-tacted at 805-963-3301. This bulletin is published to provide general information about current legal issues, and is not intended to be a substitute for the advice of an attorney as to a specific problem. If you have a specific legal question or need legal ad-vice, you should contact an attorney.

Unlicensed Operators

Like legitimate contractors, unlicensed operators sometimes use advertising to find new clients. Ads without license numbers or with numbers that are not issued by the CSLB are frequently used by the Board to identify sting targets.

The CSLB and other enforcement agencies use two sections of the law—B&P Sections 7027.1 and 7099.10—to take legal action against unlicensed contractors and, on occasion, against licensed contractors who advertise illegally.

If an unlicensed operator advertises as a contractor in a telephone directory, and if an investigation determines the entity doing the advertising is unlicensed, under B&P Section 7099.10 (a), the Registrar can issue a citation for a fine or other civil penalty assessment. The citation will also include an order of correction that requires:

any phone number in the unlawful ad and to not refer subsequent calls to any new number obtained by that person. If the order of correction isn’t made, the Registrar can have the Public Utilities Commission disconnect the phone service.

If you believe that an unlicensed contractor is actively working on a construction project, contact the CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or fill out a “SWIFT Lead Referral” form, which is available on the CSLB Web site, www.cslb.ca.gov.
