Overview of Construction Defects

The term “construction defects” refers to construction work that falls below acceptable industry standards. 

These defects can manifest in various ways, such as:

  • Water intrusions
  • Structural failures
  • Poor workmanship
  • Electrical malfunctions

Such defects can compromise building integrity, safety, and functionality. Identifying and addressing these defects early helps prevent further damage and additional costs. 

It can be difficult for the at-fault parties to admit guilt. Quite simply, they don’t want to spend the time and money it takes to fix the problem. Our team can investigate your situation and help you diagnose the root causes of construction defects. Then, we can negotiate with all parties involved to rectify the problem quickly. We want to make sure you get your project done on time, and the parties who made mistakes are held accountable.

Litigation

Unfortunately, construction disputes often involve companies and clients who refuse to budge. Everyone is steadfast in their position, and no one is willing to resolve the matter. In cases such as these, it becomes necessary to take the matter to court. 

Courtroom litigation involves presenting the case before a judge and jury, but it is possible to remove the jury from the proceedings, depending on the circumstances. The court then examines the evidence each side presents and renders its decision. If your construction dispute must go to court, our firm stands ready to represent you vigorously. We can draw on our deep understanding of construction law and industry standards to help prove your case.

We prepare meticulously for civil trials, taking a comprehensive approach to your case. Our team can gather all necessary documentation, from contracts to communications. We may also use expert reports to build a strong foundation for your claim. Then, we work to articulate the issues clearly in court. Our team can help reveal how defects or disagreements have breached contracts or standards. Ultimately, our goal is to demonstrate how the problem impacted you, and we seek remedies that may include repairs, compensation, or specific performance.

Whether you are a builder or a client, a construction defect or dispute can have a huge impact on your operations. Our team is here to help you uncover the facts and get your project back on track. For a free consultation with our lawyer, contact us online today.
