Legal Question in Construction Law in Michigan

Substantially Similar legal definition

I'm building a house in Michigan through a national builder. The fa�ade of our new house does not match the diagram presented to us in the purchase agreement. The purchase agreement states that the builder will provide construction that is �substantially similar� to the diagram presented in the purchase agreement. From a legal perspective, what does �substantially similar� mean in Michigan?

Re: Substantially Similar legal definition

This is a difficult question that cannot be answered in the context of this venue. Legal research of case law in Michigan must be evaluated to give the context of this meaning. At a minimum it must appear to resemble the architectural rendering as presented to you in your agreement. This is a question of fact under law. If you are really concerned seek legal counsel in your area of Michigan.

Good Luck!!
