Where do I find this law?

What is the name of your state? Colorado

I'm trying to find some information on construction law, I've looked everywhere but can't find it.

The situation is this. A woman hired a contractor to do a job, which was horribly botched. The contract was for labor only with her purchasing the materials seperatly. She was good friends with the man at the time, and gave him a little too much freedom with her money. There were several times when he picked up materials for her, and then invoiced them as "Misc" supplies.

She got suspicious and asked for receipts. And was sent this response

"Colorado state law clearly states that any receipts acquired by a contractor for the purchase of materials involved in any job become the sole property of said contractor. This law protects the rights of the contractor to reasonably mark-up the price of materials used. (Though no markup was made on you or any other job taken on by (company) construction.) It also projects the rights of multiple clients in the event that materials are purchased for more than one contract at a time. Those materials become the sole property of the client only after they have been used on the job site. Once they have been applied to the specific job site, then the contractor is required only to supply the client with his/her own companies invoice for such materials. "

Where is this law because I can't seem to find it, and does this law apply to contracts for labor only? Many of the items on her credit card bill weren't even used in the home (such as a laundry sink)

She is concerned that these misc bills might be hiding something as well but as long as he refuses to give her receipts she can't prove it.

Thank you

Why don't you ask him to point out this law? I call BS.

This is an old case, and there are now restraining orders in place. I would just like to find the actual law for refrence but I can't find it anywhere.

Nor can I find this one.

“According to the law, the existing cedar posts markers supersede any other boundary line when they have been in place for more than 20 years. Aerial photographs of the Town, taken prior to the construction of your existing house, show these cedar posts in their current location. Furthermore, according to the law, any new fence construction MUST INCLUDE existing cedar posts unless they are to be replaced with a new post in the EXACT same location, and corner posts may not ever be removed. Removal of said corner posts is agaisnt the law. The only other acception is in the case of a new fence being place next to the existing cedar posts; in your case to the south of said posts.”

These are the two laws that bullied an elderly woman into not only a huge financial loss, but also into giving up claim to her own property when they threatened her with real estate fraud...

They continue to bully her so I am going through her old records trying to figure out what we can do to protect her. THe restraining order worked for awhile, but now they are printing letters to the editor full of more crap like you see above.

I'm afraid there isn't much she can do. Still I'm looking.

Turn things around a bit. Are there any laws that specifically REQUIRE the contractor to provide receipts for the materials he purchased? (No)
Unless the contract stated that the information would be provided, there is no requirement that it be provided.
