For 4,000 years, the law has protected your right to live in a well-built home.
Four thousand years ago, the king of Babylonia declared that builders were strictly liable for their work:
 If a building falls down causing the death of the owner or his son, whichever may be the cause, the builder or his son will be put to death. If a slave of the homeowner dies, he shall be given a slave of the same value. If other possessions are destroyed, these shall be restored, and the damaged parts of the home shall be reconstructed at the builder's cost.
- Hammurabi's Code
Since the days of Hammurabi, civilized nations have demanded that buildings intended for human habitation meet certain standards of safety and craftsmanship. We believe our firm is enforcing those important concepts first laid down by one of mankind's greatest lawgivers four thousand years ago.
