Observation: the fatal weapon against poor workmanship<\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\ud83d\udd0d <strong>Expert advice<\/strong> : Call a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cecile-zakine.fr\/en\/5-trucs-pour-choisir-un-huissier-a-cannes\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"30\" rel=\"dofollow\" >bailiff (now called Judicial Commissioner)<\/a>) for proper findings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">The first step, often overlooked but nevertheless crucial, is the formal observation of defects. Do not be satisfied with simple photos or amicable reports. The report of a Judicial Commissioner will have indisputable legal value. The ideal? Organize a contradictory expert appraisal in the presence of all parties involved. This process may seem tedious, but it lays the solid foundations of your case and can even, in certain cases, pave the way for an amicable resolution of the dispute.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-600 text-lg font-bold\" level=\"3\">2. Formal notice: the legal warning shot<\/h3>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">\ud83d\udcdd <strong>To remember<\/strong> : Send a registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to the offending contractor. This is the basis of your file in the event of prosecution!<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Once the defects have been noted, take action with your first legal weapon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cecile-zakine.fr\/en\/le-courrier-de-mise-en-demeure-me-zakine-docteur-en-droit-avocat\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"29\" rel=\"dofollow\" >the formal notice<\/a>. Write a detailed letter, listing all the defects noted. This document is not a mere formality: it marks the official start of your process and will be a key piece of your file in the event of subsequent proceedings. Be precise, factual, and always keep a copy of your correspondence.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00a0\u00bb2_5,3_5&Prime; _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb2_5&Prime; _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_image src=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/www.cecile-zakine.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/quelles-exigences-pour-ouvrir-un-cabinet-avocats-jpg.webp\u00a0\u00bb title_text=\u00a0\u00bbsinistre apres travaux dans maison\u00a0\u00bb _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00a0\u00bb3_5&Prime; _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00a0\u00bb4.27.0&Prime; _module_preset=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00a0\u00bb{}\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-600 text-lg font-bold\" level=\"3\">3.

Then, consider:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"-mt-1 list-disc space-y-2 pl-8\" depth=\"0\">\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\" index=\"0\">The guarantee of perfect completion (1 year after receipt)<\/li>\n<li class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\" index=\"1\">The ten-year guarantee for businesses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"whitespace-pre-wrap break-words\">Each of these guarantees has its own specificities and deadlines for application, hence the importance of activating them at the right time and in the required forms.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"font-600 text-lg font-bold\" level=\"3\">5.
