工程质量保修期内发生质量问题，承包人拒绝承担保修责任，发包人应如何维护自身权益？
By King & Wood
作者：王欣 建设工程竣工验收合格仅仅是承包人履行施工义务的结束，而承包人关于建设工程的质量责任并不会就此终止。《建设工程质量管理条例》第四十条规定了建设工程中不同部位、结构的最低保修年限，如主体结构工程的保修年限为工程的合理使用年限，防水工程的防渗漏保修最低年限为5年等。 如果建设工程在保修范围和保修年限内发生质量问题的，承包人必须履行保修义务，并对因此给发包人、第三方造成的损失进行赔偿。实践中，如果承包人拒绝承担保修责任，发包人应当如何维权，本文就此具体讨论和分析。 阅读更多

EPC合同中总承包人的合同义务包括协助办理房产证，发包人能否以总承包人未办理房产证为由拒绝支付工程款？
By King & Wood
作者：武鹏 陈永昌 杨忠勤 EPC合同即设计-采购-施工（Engineering, Procurement, Construction）总承包合同，总承包人需要对工程项目的勘察、设计、采购、施工、试运行或竣工验收等实行全过程或若干阶段的承包，直至交付可直接使用。发包人通常只需提出功能需求和目标，总承包人需对工程质量、安全、工期及造价全面负责。 由此，实践中有EPC合同约定总承包人的合同义务包括协助办理房产证，在此情况下发包人能否以总承包人未办理房产证为由拒绝支付工程款？对于这一问题实务案例较少，本文将结合法律规定及法理做以下具体分析和讨论。 阅读更多

保修期结束后，承包人是否对工程质量问题仍负有责任？
By King & Wood
作者：王欣 《建设工程质量管理条例》对建设工程的保修制度及施工单位的保修责任作出了较为全面的规定，通常情况下，建设工程经竣工验收合格后至保修期届满前发生质量问题的，承包人应当履行保修责任。但是，司法实践中存在建设工程保修期届满后发包人仍然要求承包人就建设工程质量问题进行维修并承担质量责任的情况。对于保修期结束后，承包人是否仍需要对建设工程的质量问题承担责任，现行法律法规并无明确规定，司法实务中也存在一定争议，本文就此讨论和分析。 阅读更多
