| 3. Proposal for inspection.__If a proposal for an inspection |
| is made pursuant to subsection 2, paragraph D, the claimant |
| shall, within 30 days of receiving the contractor's proposal, |
| provide the contractor and a subcontractor, agent, expert or |
| consultant of the contractor prompt and complete access to the |
| residence so that they may inspect the residence, document any |
| alleged construction defect and perform any destructive or |
| nondestructive testing required to fully and completely evaluate |
| the nature, extent and cause of the claimed defect and the nature |
| and extent of any repairs or replacements that may be necessary |
| to remedy the alleged defect. If destructive testing is required, |
| the contractor shall give the claimant advance notice of the test |
| and shall, after completion of the test, return the residence to |
| as close to its pretested condition as is reasonably practicable. |
| If an inspection or test reveals a condition that requires |
| additional testing to allow the contractor to fully and |
| completely evaluate the nature, cause and extent of the |
| construction defect, the contractor shall provide notice to the |
| claimant of the need for the additional testing and the claimant |
| shall provide access as required by this subsection. If a claim |
| is asserted on behalf of owners of multiple residences or |
| multiple owners of units within a multifamily complex, then the |
| contractor is entitled to inspect each residence or unit. |
