CSI DISCUSSIONS OF THE WEEK
Jointly signed window warranties
In some Architectural Master specs for aluminum windows, I've seen requirements for a “written <##>-year warranty signed jointly by manufacturer and installer, agreeing to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship, including non-compliance with specification requirements and industry standards, which result in failure of the window system, finish, glass, or parts.” What have you seen on your projects in your various locations around the country? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Warranties for items in use during construction
What has been people’s experience with getting the expected warranties from day of Substantial Completion (SC) for items that the contractor is allowed to use during construction? This might include, but is certainly not limited to, items such as permanent lighting fixtures, HVAC systems, and more. Should we account for this in our spec language? Or is this a “means & methods” issue that the contractor has to resolve on their own? Thoughts?
