Business & LicensingQuestion 521 of 1605
A subcontractor abandons a project after pouring a defective foundation and refuses to return calls or correct the defects, leaving the owner to hire someone else at greater cost. Which provision most directly supports CSLB discipline?
a.§7066 (DBA rules)
b.§7113 — willful or deliberate disregard or violation of building laws, or failure to complete construction in a workmanlike manner
c.§7058.7 (specialty class rules)
d.§7011 (board composition)
Explanation
B&P §7113 authorizes discipline for failure to complete a construction project for the contract price, and §7109/§7113 together cover willful or deliberate disregard of safety, building, or labor laws and substandard workmanship. The fact pattern of abandonment plus defective work fits §7113.
