Critical Risk Education
The Structural Liability Gap
If you read the fine print in a standard corporate aggregator contract, they protect themselves by stating they are merely "technology platforms matches." The legal construction contract is signed directly between you and the subcontractor.
If the foundation settles, walls crack, or the builder stops work due to thin margins (caused by the aggregator's heavy commissions), the aggregator is not legally liable to finish your home.
Buildogram signs the Tripartite Agreement as a co-signatory. We accept liability for structural design and QC approvals, guaranteeing project completion.Buildogram Mediation Model
