Is a builder required to be a guarantor of the suitability of the plans and specifications provided by the architect and engineer to the owner?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sunnyside Nursing Home v. Builders Contract Management Ltd. et al., 1989 CanLII 4719 (SK CA):
Obviously, factual distinctions are going to arise, such as in Brunswick Construction Ltee v. Nowlan (supra) but in general, where plans are provided by the owner and the contractor is instructed to build in accordance with the plans, the builder is not expected to be a guarantor of the suitability of the plans and specifications provided by the architect and engineer to the owner.
