execute a piece of work for the employer, in consideration of a certain price or
compensation. The contractor may either employ only his labor or skill, or also
furnish the material. (1588a) (pertains to the contract that is agreed upon by
the architect/contractor and the proprietor)

• Article 1714. - If the contractor agrees to produce the work from material furnished
by him, he shall deliver the thing produced to the employer and transfer dominion
over the thing. This contract shall be governed by the following articles as well as
by the pertinent provisions on warranty of title and against hidden defects and the

responsible for the damages if the edifice falls, within the same period, on account
of defects in the construction or the use of materials of inferior quality furnished by
him, or due to any violation of the terms of the contract. If the engineer or architect
supervises the construction, he shall be solidarily liable with the contractor.

Acceptance of the building, after completion, does not imply waiver of any of the
cause of action by reason of any defect mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
The action must be brought within ten years following the collapse of the building. (n)

This article states that if a structure collapses due to errors to the design of the
plans and specifications of the design, the architect / Engineer accounted for the design
of the project, shall be liable to those damages.
HOWEVER, if the damages were caused by defects on the construction, the
contractor is liable. If there is an architect/engineer that supervises the construction, the
supervisor is also liable along with the contractor.
