If a defect is known to the owner at the time of acceptance, and the owner did not object or reduce payment due the contractor or designer, has the owner waived any claim against the contractor or designer?

What will be an ideal response?


A court may find that the owner waived any claim, but no such assumption
should be made concerning hidden or latent defects. Moreover, standard
form documents explicitly reject equating acceptance of the project with
waiver of claims.
