Construction Defect Law

Construction defect law addresses issues that arise when a new building or renovation has problems due to poor workmanship, design flaws, or substandard materials. If defects, such as leaks or structural weaknesses, occur within a certain time after completion, parties involved—like contractors, builders, or suppliers—may be held legally responsible for repairs. These laws help homeowners and property owners seek compensation or fixes. Ultimately, construction defect law aims to ensure buildings are safe, properly constructed, and that responsible parties are accountable for fixing defects that emerge after construction is finished.
