Construction Defects Litigation

Serving home owners and property owners in Northern and Southern California

The building of a new home or complex, or the renovation of an existing structure is a costly and time-consuming endeavor. Given these significant expenditures, you expect the construction process to proceed smoothly and without delay. You also expect the finished product to be free from defects or other major structural flaws.

However, mistakes can be made. Leakage problems may develop. Foundation cracks may appear. Windows or doors may be improperly installed. The construction process may be delayed for several months resulting in considerable damages.

At the Law Offices of Kenny Tan, our California construction defects litigation attorneys represent both home owners and property owners in settlement negotiations or civil actions.

Construction defects cases can be extremely complex. Our founding attorney, Kenny Tan, is a licensed civil engineer with considerable technical expertise. He will take the time to explain the structural issues and inform you of your legal options.

Thorough, professional investigation of construction defects

Our first step in any construction defects case is to hire experts to thoroughly investigate the premises and determine the cause and extent of the defects. After this preliminary assessment is completed, we will study the reports and make the appropriate recommendations.

If we determine there are no defects, we will advise the home owner or property owner accordingly. If construction defects do exist, we will inform them of their options, answer their questions and explain the entire legal process.

Before considering litigation for construction defects or breach of contract, it is important for homeowners to be aware of potential legal obstacles, including the applicable statute of limitations for construction defects and any clauses in the construction contract mandating alternative dispute resolution.

Balancing the concerns of builders and subcontractors

Our aim in pursuing construction defects litigation is always to make the home owner or property owner whole again. Common examples of construction defects include:

• Foundation / concrete cracks
• Pipe / water leakage
• Roof leakage
• Improper door / window installation
• Improper wood treatment
• Mold
• Ventilation problems

If a construction defect is found to exist, we will argue that the developer should either pay for damages or be given the opportunity to correct the defect, or both. For efficient handling of your construction defects litigation, contact an accomplished California real estate lawyer.
