Got a question about contract management?

If the Supervisor signs off the Defects Certificate, does the Contractor still have to correct other Defects that had not previously been notified?

No, the Defects Certificate will be issued on or after the defects date.  Clause 43.2 makes clear that the Supervisor can only notify Defects up to the defects date. If the Client finds problems after the defects date and the Contractor is still liable (in the UK that’s for 12 years after Completion for contract under seal or 6 years for a contract not under seal (under hand)) it may still require the Contractor to correct the Defect – but it is no longer an issue for the Supervisor.
