II. purchases or shop
“A creative but informative product”
The products or packages that can be purchased online are the creative works done by Xavier Lersy. They intent to deliver an idea of the possibilities to use the space of a land, how to combine the design elements altogether.
As Xavier Lersy, graduated of a master’s degree in marketing, is only an architecture enthusiast, consequently the products or packages can only give an information to the buyer of what could be his/her housing project.
As the purchases can be done worldwide, there are for the visitor, before any possible purchase, a few elements to consider:
II. 1- All products or suggested architectural concepts (structural, mechanical, plumbing or other tender layouts are excluded) are fully done by Xavier Lersy during his free time as a hobby. These works are not related to any company and Xavier Lersy owns the full rights related to the present concepts and their intellectual property.
II. 2- The plans (focusing on architecture only and listed in the table of deliverables within the packages and product description) are drafted by Xavier Lersy, who is graduated of a master’s degree in marketing. Despite he developed architectural drafting skills and being an architecture enthusiast, Xavier Lersy shall bear no responsibility at any moment of the implementation of the purchased product (in case the customer decides to build the purchased concept), whatever it is during the permit process at the Municipality, during the construction at the site or any other stage of the project.
II. 3- In any case, Xavier Lersy shall bear no responsibility, which includes the following circumstances (non-exhaustive list):
• if there are missing information to complete the permit process at the Municipality (the site plans with client's and neighbors lands, which is excluded from all packages, might be requested to complete the process)
• if any missing element in the set of layouts necessary for the construction work
• if any mistake happens at the site, during the construction phases of implementation of one of the present architectural concepts
• in any mistake during the construction phases that affects one of the original present concepts
• in any mistake that can happen at the site and related to MEP, HVAC, Plumbing, Mechanical, Electrical, Landscape or Finishes Works, since these elements are not included into any the present concepts packages (non-exhaustive list)
• in the case of any damage related to materials, the house itself, equipments or finishes that can appear during or after the construction of the house and its handover to the client
• in any worker accident or violation of the regulation of the country
II. 4- In the case the customer who purchased one of the concepts wants to build the suggested architectural concept, during the construction stage Xavier Lersy can be reached regarding clarification about the purchased concept or to obtain his feedback regarding the shop drawings drafted by the contractor. However, Xavier Lersy shall bear no responsibility in such a situation.
II. 5- All plans and documentation in the present packages are in English language. Xavier Lersy is not responsible for any misunderstanding from the customer’s side. For the customer to avoid such a potential misunderstanding, he/she can hire a professional translator (at his/her own expense) who can ensure the translation from English to his/her mother language.
II. 6- The “General Feedback” section in the set of drawings mentions the overall view of Xavier Lersy regarding the concept. This section needs to be understood as a general advice or point of view. It does not engage Xavier Lersy’s responsibility at all. The orientation (South for example) of the property is mentioned as a suggestion.
II. 7- The drawings within the packages are intended to give a suggestion of an architectural concept that can be implemented into the described plot size, by trying to deliver for the customer’s benefit an added value to the land. They cannot be the final layouts since this step requires the coordination with at least a structural consultancy office, who will take the full responsibility of the structural proposal and calculation.
II. 8- Despite the objective of delivering an added value to the land thanks to an attractive architectural concept, Xavier Lersy shall bear no responsibility in the case the land sees its value decreasing slightly or significantly. Indeed, many factors related to the market itself, which are out of control of Xavier Lersy, may lead to such consequences.
II. 9- The set of layouts in the packages are intend to cover the minimum requested plans to proceed to the permit licensing at the Municipality (excluding the Site Plans). However:
• the client must ensure the layouts are in compliance with the regulation with his/her country of origin
• the drawings need to be reviewed by a consultant/contractor regarding its technical feasibility in compliance with the existing conditions at the client’s site and its acceptance for the permit process
• since in any circumstances the layouts need to be reviewed first by an engineering office, Xavier Lersy cannot be responsible for any missing information in the layouts to complete the Municipality process or if completing the Municipality process takes longer time than usual
II. 10- The concepts and layouts are a general suggestion of building a house or a possible real estate investment. Since they are not drafted for a particular market or country, it is the responsibility of the client to verify along with a consultancy office chosen by him/her to verify the feasibility in his/her country with the local regulation.
II. 11- The proper execution at the site of the different needed works are the responsibilities of the consultancy offices, contractor and sub-contractors involved in the construction and chosen by the client.
II. 12- Detailed drawings need to be drafted by a third party/contractor. Such plans need to be considered by the parties involved in the project construction.
II. 13- The drawings indicate the general guidelines of the concept in terms of architectural design, the dimensions of the rooms and the property itself, and the main architectural elements for the structural engineering office to draft the structural calculation and layouts accordingly. To implement the purchased concept with full performance, the draft of detailed shop drawings by a third party/contractor or engineering offices is a must.
II. 14- To implement properly the suggested concept at the site, the contractor has the responsibility to lead a Topographic Land Survey and verify the main elements are in compliance with the existing conditions. The contractor has the responsibility to implement elements such as a ramp access for example among other element.
