§ 7109 Construction Standards Violations

• •If a builder doesn't follow the usual good building rules on purpose, they can get in trouble, unless they followed special plans made by an architect.
• •If a builder ignores the plans or rules for a building project on purpose and it hurts someone else, they can get in trouble if they didn't get permission from the owner or the person who wanted the project done right.
• •The builder can only change the plans if the owner or the person in charge says it's okay.

A builder is hired to build a house. The plans say to use strong wood for the floors, but the builder uses cheap, weak wood instead to save money.

The builder didn't follow the good building rules or the plans, and this could cause problems for the family living in the house. The builder can get in trouble for this because they didn't get permission to change the plans.
