On residential construction, even custom residential, I would not expect the typical contractor to generate or maintain "field notes, daily logs, time sheets or RFI's".  Such documentation is common on commercial projects but not, in my experience, in residential construction (which is far more informal on the documentation side).

Good Afternoon All:

Issues:

  1. How long is a building contractor of a custom-design single family home obligated to retain project records? (specifically, field notes, daily logs, time sheets, RFI's, punch lists and other documents that track what, if any, were the onsite problems and supervisory controls).

Statute of repose and warranty requirements seem to set forth a blurry deadline depending on the type of record or document at issue.

  1. Is the contractor obligated to document what records, if any, were turned over to the owner at the time of the Final C.O.?

Thank you in advance to anyone who may provide some advice, cases, statutes, etc. on these questions.  Please feel free to reply to me directly if you do not wish to reply to all under the guidelines of WWAD!?!.  My email address is bross@beauchampco.com

I would think that because of the statute of limitations on construction allowing 10 years for latent defects and the broad discovery rules and requirements to preserving documents (business records), I would try to avoid a spoliation issue down the road and hold them at least 10 years.  As for records turned over to the owner, I advise my clients to keep a copy.  Most scan them now anyway.

Blaik:

489.124 requires that all “business records” be maintained for 3 years.  A broad reading of the statute would seem to suggest that the documents you describe are “business records.”

I don’t know if there may be some other requirement to keep such records longer.  Good luck.

  Turns out that "volunteers" working without remuneration are not

"employees" of the GC under comp law.  Mea culpa.  See, Fla. Stat. s.
440.02(15)(d)6  (person who does not receive remuneration for services
is presumed a "volunteer" which is defined not to be an "employee" for
ch. 440 WC purposes).  So, the volunteer Church workforce will not have
claims against the GC's WC policy but will have claims, if injured,
against GC's GL policy (unless excluded under the GL policy).

   Fla. Stats. ss. 440.09 and 440.10 mandate (absent statutory

exemption) that the employer (GC) provide WC benefits to injured
employees.  Though I invite others to cite to statutory or common law
authority permitting advance releases from BI claims in the employment
context, it would appear from the mandatory statutory language and
public policy grounds that such would not be enforceable in the
employment context.

    Due to these volunteers not being ch. 440 employees and not

subject to WC coverage, the caselaw David cited may apply and be
enforceable to permit advance waivers of BI claims.

 Injured workers, volunteer or otherwise, will likely have recourse

against the GC's Workers Comp policy as the statutory employer of
record.  Not an expert on comp law, but that is my understanding.  As
the GC of record, GC's GL policy will also be exposed to claims for both
third party BI and PD claims.

 I am not sure a worker,  volunteer or otherwise, can enforceably

release in advance claims for jobsite injuries.  If that were the case,
I suspect all kinds of employers would extract such concessions from
their employees or laborers.  I would suggest the GC get a (725.06
compliant) indemnity and hold harmless agreement from the Church itself
which is the entity actually benefitting from everyone's volunteering
and the entity likely best able to respond to an actual claim for
indemnity from the GC.

Off the top of my head:

  1.   No license is required for these volunteers, since they are not
    

being compensated;

  1.   Any liability for injuries on the premises (anytime) should be
    

a matter covered by the church's property insurance policy, so they may
want to consult with their agent.

Subject: [RPPTL-constructionlaw] Commercial Job (church) with volunteer
labor

A church owner wants to use "volunteers" from the congregation to do
much of the labor on a renovation.  A GC will be paid to pull permits
and actually supervise and direct the work (not just pull permits and
disappear.)  GC is concerned about liability for these volunteers if
they are injured on the job and would like to address it as much as
possible contractually and/or with waivers/releases signed by the
volunteers.

Anyone dealt with this scenario before.  If so, please reply directly to
