Hi guys-
Couple questions I have rising from Ballast CDS Exam that I was going through.
-Ballast 16= If the contractor finds areas of swell soil in locations that has not been indicated in the soil report. Who is responsible for the cost of additional excavation?
Why is the 'the contractor' but the owner? It is an unexpected condition that has not been placed in the soil report so isn't it the owner who has to pay for it?
Other questions I have is:
-If building inspector wants more tests of certain conditions, who pays for it? Contractor?
-If building inspector requires extra fire extinguishers, who pays for it? Owner?
-If architect's consultant mechanical engineer's specs are wrong and the item that the contractor build needs to be replaced, who pays for it? Architect?
Thanks so much for the feedbacks in advance.
