3 later decisions quote this exact passage“Three major factors are used to determine whether or not a contract is one of sale or one to build: (1) The buyer has some control over the specifications of the object, (2) the negotiations generally take place before the object is constructed, and (3) the parties contemplate that one of them will supply the materials and his skill and labor in order the construct the specified object.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Under Louisiana law, if the defects are such that they cannot be corrected except by removing and replacing the construction, the owner may require the contractor to remove the object from his land and restore the premises to its prior condition.
