What qualifies as a construction defect in Leesburg, VA?

Construction defects include structural failures, water intrusion, code violations, and defective materials that compromise safety or project integrity.

How do I start a construction defect claim?

Call Shin Law Office for an initial consultation. We’ll arrange expert inspections, document the issues, and prepare a demand or lawsuit as needed.

What evidence is needed for a defect claim?

You need inspection reports, photographs, repair estimates, construction contracts, and any correspondence with builders or suppliers.

Who can be held liable for construction defects?

Liability may fall on contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, or product manufacturers depending on the source of the defect.

How long do I have to file a defect claim in Virginia?

You generally have five years from the date the defect was discovered or reasonably should have been discovered to file a written contract or tort claim.

Can I get repairs instead of money damages?

Yes. We can demand repair, replacement, or remediation of defects—or pursue monetary compensation if repairs aren’t possible.

What if I’m sued for a defect claim?

If you’re a contractor or supplier, I will review the claim, gather your project records, and defend you using expert analysis and legal strategy.

Do code violations qualify as construction defects?

Absolutely. Violations of building codes—electrical, plumbing, fire safety—are defects that can form the basis of a legal claim.

How do expert engineers help in a defect case?

Engineers inspect the site, diagnose the root cause of defects, prepare detailed reports, and testify in court if necessary.
