A painting contractor completes interior painting works for a commercial office building under a contract incorporating SIA-Norm 118. Fourteen months after the formal joint acceptance inspection (Gemeinsame Abnahmeprüfung), the client discovers hairline shrinkage cracks along several drywall corner joints and immediately notifies the contractor. How does SIA-Norm 118 regulate the defect notification period (Rügefrist) compared to statutory Swiss Code of Obligations (OR Art. 367)?

Under SIA-Norm 118 Art. 172/173, a 2-year guarantee period applies during which the client may report any defect at any time, in contrast to OR Art. 367 which requires immediate notice upon discovery SIA-Norm 118 strictly requires all defects to be reported in writing within 7 working days of appearance; otherwise, all defect claims are definitively forfeited SIA-Norm 118 eliminates all contractor liability once the final invoice (Schlussrechnung) is paid by the client OR Art. 367 provides a 10-year unconditional guarantee period, whereas SIA-Norm 118 restricts all contractor defect liability to exactly 6 months

Correct Answer:

Under SIA-Norm 118 Art. 172/173, a 2-year guarantee period applies during which the client may report any defect at any time, in contrast to OR Art. 367 which requires immediate notice upon discovery
