5. Garantie dommages-ouvrage
5.1 Obligation
Anyone having work built or carried out by a contractor must take out construction damage insurance. It's up to the client to take out this insurance. In the event of a claim, it enables you to reimburse or carry out all repairs covered by the ten-year warranty, without waiting for a court decision.
The insurer will then take recourse against the builder(s) responsible.
This insurance must therefore be taken out prior to the start of construction.
