Company is not responsible for any discrepancies between the original design and the final construction project. Company is solely a design service, and all renderings are used for illustration purposes.

While the Company reserves the right to show pictures, photos, renderings, and other visual and written representation of the desired end product or residential structure, the Customer understands that these are for general informational purposes only and are the sole cost and responsibly of the Owner and/or general contractor the Owner selects to build according to any provided designs. 

 

Mei Li Homes permits Owners to show renderings to their construction team solely for inspirational purposes, and Members/Customers/Users are aware that they do so at their own risk; they will not hold Mei Li Homes LLC liable should those materials not be readily available on the marketplace or other cost-prohibitive to their own budgets, which are also not the Company’s responsibility.

 

Given the nature of construction in general the Company makes no guarantees as to the final measurements, conditions, and features of property as built. This again is solely the responsibility of the construction team the Owner selects to build according to the design. All terms and conditions stated on the plans also applies to any Agreement between the Owner and Company.
