What Exactly Is A Construction Defect?

Construction defects are any deficiencies in the design or construction of a building. This can occur due to improperly manufactured materials, poor workmanship, cutting corners during the building and construction process, sudden changes to the project, poor supervision, and other causes. It may often be unclear what the root cause of a defect may be or who is responsible. This is why you need a skilled lawyer on your side.

We can help with any of the following types of defects:

  • Design defects, including any errors made by architects or engineers, such as a badly designed roof that leads to water seepage, which can lead to mold. Design defects often violate specified building codes.
  • Material defects, such as using improper building materials that fail to perform properly and cause serious issues. For example, installing inferior windows that leak or concrete that cracks under pressure.
  • Construction defects, including poor workmanship that doesn’t meet building codes or industry standards. This can include cracks in the foundation, dry rot in lumber, and leaking plumbing.
  • Subsurface defects, which are caused by a lack of solid foundation due to soil problems. Without solid foundation, this can cause flooding or the building moving and shifting over time.

There are many construction defects that can impact the integrity of a building or structure. We will help identify defects and determine the causes before developing a strong strategy for your claim.

Experienced Trial Attorneys You Can Count On

We understand how much is at stake when it comes to construction defect cases. A defect can cost property owners thousands of dollars in repairs and even make their home unlivable if a defect resulted in mold or other unsafe conditions. Contractors, subcontractors, and construction companies also have a lot on the line as a defect can harm their name and reputation.

No matter what side of a construction claim you’re on, we’re here to represent you to the fullest. As experienced construction law and trial attorneys, we will work closely with you to find a strategic solution for your case and achieve a positive outcome.
