A property owner contracted with a builder to construct a house, but the work was defective, leading the owner to sue the builder for breach of contract and damages. The builder, in turn, sought to hold the construction supervisor liable, arguing the defects stemmed from inadequate oversight required under the contract. The court ruled that the builder, as the party responsible for executing the works, bore the primary contractual liability for the defects, and the supervisor's duty was to ensure compliance with plans and regulations; therefore, absent proof that the defects were solely attributable to a failure in the supervisor's specific oversight duties rather than the execution itself, the builder remained liable to the property owner, and the claim against the supervisor was dismissed.
