  1. Suppose an office building is constructed for an owner. The punch list items are addressed, and the project is accepted by the owner. Three months later during the winter season, the owner noticed that the roof developed a small leak and that the leaking water caused discoloration of several suspended ceiling tiles. The main cause of the leakage is an issue in the roof installation and structure that was not readialy observable during final inspection carried out by the owner’s representative. Suppose the owner then noticed that the space between the bottom of three doors and the surface of the floor was nearly ½ inch, exceeding the ¼ inch that was specified in the construction documents. (1) What type of defect is the roof issue? Should the roof repairs and the replacement of the ceiling tiles be covered by warranty? Explain your answer. (2) What type of defect is the extra space between the bottom of doors and the surface of the floor? Should the repaid of the space between the bottom of doors and the surface of the floor be covered by warranty? Explain your answer.
