  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.
