Requires builders of new homes to provide owners with building plans.

This bill (A 2996) requires builders of new homes in New Jersey to provide owners or their agents with one free copy of the building plans - sealed by a licensed engineer or architect, or accompanied by an affidavit - no later than 15 days before construction begins. It directly affects homebuyers, who gain access to construction plans, and builders, who face penalties for non-compliance, including potential license suspension. The bill prohibits changes to plans without written agreement from both parties and limits builders to charging only actual copying costs for owner-requested amendments after initial delivery. Enforcement allows owners to seek reimbursement of reasonable costs through the commissioner if builders fail to comply.
