Standards of Care and Workmanship

(1)

For purposes of this rule, “NASCLA Standards” mean the Residential Construction Standards, dated March 20, 2009, as adopted by the National Association of State Contractors Licensing Agencies.

(2)

Except as provided in section (3) of this rule, the agency will apply NASCLA standards; to the extent such standards cover the work at issue, in order to determine if construction work performed on a residential structure meets the standards of care and workmanship in the industry.

(3)

The agency may apply a standard different than the NASCLA standard if:

(a)

The contract between the parties provides for a standard of care and workmanship that differs from the NASCLA standard; or

(b)

The work involved installation of a product for which the manufacturer provided installation instructions that establish a standard that differs from the NASCLA standard.
