Construction defects involve flaws in workmanship, materials, or design that affect the safety, function, or value of your property.
We explain your rights, timeline options, and the paths available to address defects, from negotiations to formal claims in court if needed.
A construction defect claim seeks remedies when defects are caused by poor construction practices, failure to meet building codes, or latent defects that were not readily apparent at closing.
