A construction defect claim addresses problems arising from faulty design, workmanship, or materials in a building. It seeks remedies such as repairs, cost recovery, or warranties.

California statutes of limitations and discovery rules affect timing. Generally, you must act within the period set by law and any warranty terms. Consulting an attorney helps ensure you file on time.
Costs can include attorney fees, expert fees, and investigative costs. In many California cases, the prevailing party may recover some legal costs, depending on the circumstances and contract terms.
Bring contract documents, project plans, photos, defect notes, and any warranty information. Collect prior inspections and correspondence related to the defects.
