The warranties contained in this Article 5 may be exercised
against the developer and the general contractor who built the
home, who shall be strictly liable for any breaches of warranty, as
well as against any subcontractor responsible for installing the part
of the home in which the breach of warranty occurred who shall
be strictly liable for such breach of warranty in the part of the
home he installed unless he can prove the defect was a design
defect unknown to him or the result of defective materials
unknown to him, and that he did all work in a workmanlike
manner; and, if the breach of warranty is the result of a design
defect or negligence in architectural supervision, the architect
shall be strictly liable for all breaches of warranty resulting from
faulty supervision or design; all of whom shall be jointly and
severally liable for repair costs to correct such breach of warranty,
and all damages arising out of the breaches of warranty for which
they are responsible. The warranties contained in this article can
also be enforced against the manufacturer and supplier of
defective materials used in the construction of the home and which
defective materials were the cause of the breach of warranty. A
person who meets the definition of a developer shall be liable
hereunder if he is the seller or shares in or is to share in any part
of the profit or loss on the sale or construction of the new home.
If a new home is built for an owner who is not a developer, all
other persons against whom a warranty can be exercised shall
