    How long is a developer responsible for faulty installations in a building?

    For defective installations such as mechanical, electrical, sanitary, and sewerage systems, the developer's liability lasts for one (1) year. This period typically commences from the date the unit is handed over to the owner. If an owner refrains from taking possession for any reason, the liability period starts from the date the project's completion certificate was issued. This ensures that the essential functional systems of a unit are in proper working order during the initial occupancy phase.
