Construction defects reduce the value of commercial and residential properties and threaten the health and safety of their occupants.
What constitutes a construction defect?
Homeowners, builders, contractors, and product manufacturers are likely to have different opinions of what constitutes a construction defect. However, generally speaking, construction defects are the design defects, material defects, or poor workmanship that make a structure unsuitable or unsafe for its intended purpose or which, if left uncorrected, will cause permanent or increasing damage to the property.
Structures such as commercial buildings and residential housing naturally experience degradation and normal wear and tear as they age. But when a new or recently built structure exhibits unusual leaks and water intrusion, cracks in walls or foundations, or failures of roofing materials, siding, or other exterior products, construction defects in design, materials, or workmanship may be the cause.
Responsibility for construction defects
When serious problems with a new or recently built residential or commercial structure threaten its value, integrity, or the safety of its occupants, the designer, builder, contractor or product manfucturer who is responsible for the defect can and should be held accountable.
Responsibility for construction defects can be difficult to prove, but a competent construction defect attorney can bring the resources and expertise necessary to build a strong case. When you experience losses caused by construction defects, you have a right to recover compensatory damages from those responsible.
Does your property have a construction defect?
If you suspect your property has a construction defect, you should take care to document the evidence of the defect and its effect on your property. Take care to ensure that you are taking all necessary measures to protect your property and that you do not take any action that would void a builder or manufacturer's warranty of any materials, products, or workmanship. Then contact a construction defect attorney as soon as possible.
