Construction Defect Litigation

Discuss concerns about defective work on a construction or renovation project.

EXAMPLE SCENARIO

Water starts entering a room after a renovation. The owner and contractor disagree about the cause and who should pay to fix it.

What it involves

Gather photos, dates, repair estimates, and any inspection reports.
Review the work agreement
Identify the promised work, who performed it, and what each party has said about repairs.
Compare ways to resolve it
Discuss whether a repair proposal, negotiation, mediation, or litigation makes sense.

Possible outcomes include an agreement to repair the work, a payment toward repairs, or a court decision on responsibility and damages.

The signed contract, change orders, photos, and estimates or inspection reports. Ask the office how to share sensitive documents securely.
