Construction Defect

A construction defect is a condition that reduces the value of your real estate. Some defects are obvious, such as water seepage, but many are less obvious and do not become apparent until years after the property is completed. A construction defect can arise from a variety of factors, such as poor workmanship or the use of inferior materials. Many arise from a combination of factors, including improper soil analysis and preparation, site selection and planning, civil and structural engineering, negligent construction, defective building materials. Our team of lawyers will aggressively represent you in any case involving construction defects on real estate properties.
