Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Re: Material delivered to site, then stolen

While your question does not specify I assume that you are a material supplier. Unless otherwise provided for in your agreement with builder, risk of loss passes upon delivery and acceptance of material by builder. Review the supplier agreement carefully, if one exists, particularly the insurance and indemnity sections. If nothing in contract documents addresses the risk of loss, review Calif. Commercial Code 2509 for additional info and guidance.
