Project Description

In 2023, a nonprofit organization in California sought legal assistance to review and provide feedback on a standard design-build contract intended for an HVAC upgrade in their high-rise building. The client had already agreed on the scope of work with the contractor and required a lawyer's expertise to ensure the contract templates met their specific needs before execution. They aimed to confirm that the chosen DBIA contract and accompanying general conditions were sufficient and to have these documents tailored appropriately. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $650 to $2,000, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.

Asked on Mar 12, 2025

Can a design-build contractor be held responsible for design errors in a Design-Build Contract?

Can a design-build contractor be held responsible for any design errors or deficiencies that may arise during the construction process in a Design-Build Contract? I am considering entering into a Design-Build Contract with a contractor for a construction project, and I want to understand the extent of the contractor's liability for any potential design-related issues that may arise. I have heard conflicting information about the allocation of design responsibility in such contracts, and I want to ensure that I am fully aware of the legal implications before proceeding with the agreement.

Answered Mar 12, 2025

Yes, under a Design-Build Contract, the design-build contractor is typically responsible for both design and construction, meaning they can indeed be held responsible for design errors or deficiencies that arise during the construction process. I recommend you have a lawyer specifically review the contract you have with the db contractor to see the exact language regarding design errors and responsibility
