Court reviews a case involving construction materials that were allegedly defective

BERNIE CHEATHAM d/b/a UNIVERSAL BUILDERS, ET AL. v. THE FEDERAL MATERIALS COMPANY, LLC, ET AL. (Tenn. Ct. App. February 22, 2012)

Builder was hired to construct a commercial building, and it purchased the concrete for the building’s concrete slab from Supplier. The concrete slab developed major cracks, which led to this lawsuit between Builder and Supplier. After a two-day bench trial, the trial court found that Supplier had delivered defective concrete, and it entered judgment in favor of Builder for $60,000. We affirm.
