Understand how and when the law of sales affects the rights and responsibilities of the parties in a construction project.
Construction contracts are service contracts and sales of personal property contracts are contracts governed by Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. What are the theoretical and practical differences between the two types of contracts? When is the sale of goods simply part of a construction contract, and when does a construction contract become a contract for the sale of goods? How does a general contractor make sure that the personal property components it purchases meet the warranty requirements of the owner? How does the general contractor make sure that its purchase orders with sellers of personal property comply with the requirements of his contract with the owner? How does the seller of personal property protect itself from disproportionate liability? This information will provide answers to these important questions.
