For most people, a home or real estate is the single largest and most important investment which they have, and which they count on to appreciate in value. When the property, whether it be a single family home, condominium or commercial property does not function as it should, there is great concern about loss of value, how to pay for repairs and whether it is saleable. In many instances, the only solution is construction defect litigation.

Some common signs of construction defects are: water intrusion from roofs, windows, foundations or floor slabs. Water intrusion for any significant duration will lead to mold formation which has both health and structural implications. Structural problems generally manifest through cracks in walls, floors, ceilings or foundations, indicating movement of the building.

The most critical element related to preserving and pursuing a construction defect claim is acting in a timely manner. There are several statutes of limitation 9the time period within which a suit must be filed) which apply to construction defects and valid claims can be waived or barred by the failure to act. Often minor problems are early signs of more serious problems that should not be ignored. Our team of lawyers is trained to recognize, analyze and evaluate defective conditions and associate with construction consultants necessary to maximize your claim recovery.
