WHAT ARE CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT YOU?

Construction defects are various kinds of issues that affect buildings and other structures attached to the land, such as fences, driveways, parking lots, and so on. Some issues may be minor or annoying, while others can make a building unsafe to live in. Construction defects can show up right away, or may not be noticeable until something else happens, such as rainy or hot weather, while others only appear after a long time. Issues may include:

  • Subsidence problems causing cracks, dips, sloping, or leaking due to improper analysis of the subsurface or due to an inferior or inadequate foundation.
  • Improper drainage of the land or of the structure, leading to an unstable foundation, dry-rot, or other moisture-related problems.
  • Fraud or misrepresentation regarding materials, costs, labor, or compliance with specifications.
  • Improper installation of systems, such as wiring, plumbing, appliances, and fixtures.
  • Foundation problems, particularly in homes situated on hillsides.
  • Water infiltration through roofs, windows, siding, or masonry.
  • Use of materials different than those specified or mandated.
  • Improper, inadequate, or incorrectly installed HVAC systems.
  • Improperly installed or sealed windows or doors.
  • Failure to build to applicable building codes.
  • Failure to disclose known defects or hazards.
  • Use of substandard materials.
  • Flawed building design.
  • Defective workmanship.
  • Structural defects.
  • Roof failure.

If you have discovered any construction defects in your property, you may have a legal claim against the builders, contractors, architects, engineers, or suppliers who are responsible for them. You may be entitled to compensation for the cost of repairs, loss of value, loss of use, and other damages.
