Compensation May Be Available for You

In an effort to save money, builders may seek out cheaper construction products that appear to meet the same standard as construction materials used in past jobs. However, only time will tell if the materials or equipment used was of the same quality as more expensive counterparts, leaving the homeowner with the aftermath. Defective construction products can mean the difference between life and death for unsuspecting homeowners.

Common Construction Defects

• Water issues
• Electrical systems

Defective construction materials may be the result of improper testing, problems during the manufacturing process, and/or failure to withstand the area’s environmental conditions. Homeowners must be diligent to ensure that builders are using proper construction materials and application techniques when building. While the developer and builder are ultimately responsible for ensuring quality construction, frequently they will refuse the association’s request to make the necessary construction repairs. When these parties fail to take responsibility for their mistakes, the association’s sole recourse may be a construction defect claim.
