The 3 year is in the condo statute, I believe the implied warranty or  
expressed warranty  in normal construction is either 11 years or 15 years.  Bob 
Koning knows this answer.

I looked  for statutes involving construction warranties a few years back and 
 
couldn't find anything, however, at a previous point I remember seeing a  
3-year implied warranty somewhere but nobody could confirm that.

In  any case, I believe that as the "License Holder", anything built under  
your license is assumed to conform to the building code that was in effect  
when it was built. In essence, that is a life of the structure warranty  that 
it conforms to code. It is my guess that both the company and you are  
equally liable for code violation claims.

As for non-code  violations, you would need to look at federal and state 
statutes that  involve "implied warranties". I believe a 3-year warranty is 
set forth  somewhere but like I said nobody in this forum could find it a few 
years  back.

Next job get a hold harmless indemnification.
