IKEAs mål är att deras produkter ska vara för ”de många människorna”. För att bygga hus som passar ihop med detta måste det vara till kostnader som folk har råd med. Syftet med den här rapporten är att ta fram ett förslag på en yteffektiv lägenhet som kan sättas ihop till ett mindre flerbostadshus. Yteffektiva lägenheter gör att huset tar upp mindre plats på marken och därför kostar mindre per kvadratmeter. Med hjälp av detta hus kommer en jämförelse av kostnader för olika invändiga ytmaterial att utföras. Detta kommer användas för att se hur stor skillnad det blir på slutsumman om man till exempel väljer ”finare” ytmaterial, som parkett och klinker, istället för plastmatta.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether development faults can be considered part of the term faulty in the Swedish Consumer Services Act and where the liability for developmental faults lies in connection with construction in general, and especially with single house construction. Developmental faults are a kind of latent defects. In legal terms developmental faults are defined as defects that have arisen despite that the work has been made in what is considered to be a professional way at the time of completion. A construction is defective if it deviates from the professional standard, or from what has been agreed. The assessment shall be made according to the circumstances at the time of the inspection of the construction. This is particularly interesting in the case of developmental faults, since the construction methods are often poorly tested, and the defects usually show up at a later time. Developmental faults in real estate seem to be a part of the buyer’s liability. The Swedish Supreme Court concluded this in their rulings Fritidshuset i Transtrand and Malmöfasaden. The Swedish Supreme Court however, reserved themselves by saying that deviations can be made from this conclusion. An example of such a deviation come from a ruling called Villorna i Lund, where the Supreme Court stated that single house buyers must, especially when the houses are new, be able to expect that the houses are generally functional and not having any special defects that make them less suited for accommodation. The question of liability regarding developmental faults in construction tend to be determined in each individual case. Special consideration is made to whether the fault is substantial and if the fault is caused by the contractor’s carelessness, which the Supreme Court concluded in their ruling Myresjöhus II. An exception is made for single house constructions, where an argument can be made that the contractor always is liable for developmental faults. Both precedent, especially Myresjöhus II, and doctrine show that contractors have a responsibility for their method of choice. Whether the method has been widely used in the industry previously has no implications on the responsibility of the contractors if the method is defective. This paper concludes that developmental faults cannot be considered part of the general term of faulty in the Swedish Consumer Services Act. However it can be considered part of the term faulty regarding single house construction. Regarding the question of liability, it can be divided in three sections. Developmental faults in real estate lies as a general rule under the buyer’s liability. The liability of developmental faults in construction is determined in each individual case with regard to whether the fault is substantial and if the fault is caused by the contractor’s carelessness. Lastly, developmental faults in connection with single house construction is part of the contractor’s liability. These liabilities are, of course, only viable provided that a complaint has been made within the specified liability period.
