Under B&P Code 7167, which of the following is NOT required to be included in a swimming pool construction contract in California?
Correct Answer
B) A detailed soil analysis report from a certified geotechnical engineer
B&P Code 7167 requires swimming pool contracts to include the 3-day waiting period, total costs, and equipment descriptions with warranties. However, it does not mandate a certified geotechnical engineer's soil analysis report, though soil conditions may need to be addressed during construction.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Business and Professions Code 7167 specifically outlines required disclosures for swimming pool construction contracts, including the 3-day waiting period, total project costs, and equipment specifications with warranties. However, the code does not mandate that contractors obtain or include a detailed soil analysis report from a certified geotechnical engineer as part of the contract requirements, making this the correct answer for what is NOT required.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: A statement that construction cannot begin for 3 days after contract execution
The code mandates that swimming pool contracts must clearly state the total cost of the pool project, including all equipment, accessories, and related components to ensure price transparency for consumers.
Option D: The total cost of the swimming pool including all equipment and accessories
B&P Code 7167 requires contracts to include descriptions of the pool's filtration system and equipment along with applicable warranties to inform consumers about what they're purchasing and their coverage.
Memory Technique
Remember 'TCW' for swimming pool contracts: Three-day waiting period, Complete costs disclosed, Warranties described. Soil reports aren't in the 'TCW' requirements.
