Implied obligations may arise under law or in equity when design or construction agreements are executed. These implied obligations should be carefully considered by all parties including owners, architects, engineers, consultants, general contractors, subcontractors and suppliers. Many times, these implied obligations apply because the parties have failed to enter into specific contractual provisions that might supersede certain implied obligations.
During this webinar, 12 implied obligations will be discussed:
- Implied Warranty of Plans and Specifications
- Implied Duty of Good Faith and Fair Dealing

- Implied Duty to Construct According to Legal Requirements such as Building Codes, Ordinances, Consent Decrees and Regulations
