> Real world practice scenario : Addressing safety, progress, and claim issues (Excercise A) Question 7 : Contractor must cover costs if the work was concealed and architect uncovers it, if it conformed, contractor still covers the cost. This goes against what i read in another section of BS, where if the work was conforming and architect asked the contractor to uncover it, the owner was billed the cost. Which is accurate? Is the difference between these conditions that the cost is covered by t…

It is important to note _why_ the work was uncovered, as the result depends on the specific scenario.

Per **A201 §12.1.2** , there are two key scenarios:

- If the contractor covers work without giving required notice or against a request to inspect → the contractor must pay to uncover it, even if the work is correct.

- If the work was properly exposed for inspection and then later the architect requests it be uncovered again → if the work is found to be in conformance, the owner pays.

In this case, the contractor installed the roofing **despite a request to inspect first** , so they didn’t follow the required process. That’s why the **contractor bears the cost** , even though the work was acceptable.
