What is a construction defect?
A construction defect is a condition in a building that diminishes the value of that building, or creates unsafe and potentially dangerous conditions. Typical defects relate to water damage, poor workmanship, use of incorrect or substandard materials. Often time; however, allegations relate to a failure to abide by contract documents, including plans and specifications, applicable Building Codes, and the standard of care in the building industry.
Think about:
- Construction defects due to improper drainage or soil preparation
- Construction defects resulting from site selection and planning
- Construction defects from civil and structural engineering errors
- Construction defects caused by negligent construction
- Construction defects associated with defective building materials
- Construction defects due to improper supervision or sequencing
Problems like:
- Mold
- Seepage/drainage
- Electrical issues
- Landscaping and soil problems
- Foundation, floor, wall and roof cracks
- Dry rot from repeated exposure to water intrusion
- Improper waterproofing design/systems
- Structural failures
- Heating and electrical problems
