When the Work Is Wrong, We Prove It, or Prove It Was Not You

The Cause Has to Be Documented Before It Disappears

A Defect Is More Than a Flaw. It Is a Loss With a Cause.

A construction defect is more than a cosmetic problem. Water finds its way into a wall, a foundation moves, a roof fails, and a building does not meet code. The damage is often hidden at first and becomes expensive by the time it shows.

We handle both sides of these disputes. For owners and developers, we pursue the contractor, subcontractor, designer, or manufacturer responsible for the loss. For builders, we defend against defect claims that are exaggerated, misdirected, or attributable to someone else.

Either way, the case turns on evidence. We bring in engineers and other experts early, document the condition before it is repaired, and connect the defect to a responsible party and a number.

Where We Come In

• ✓ A building is showing structural movement, cracks, or failure
• ✓ Water is intruding through the roof, walls, or foundation
• ✓ The work does not meet code or the approved plans
• ✓ You are a builder wrongly blamed for someone else’s defect
• ✓ A defect surfaced after the project was finished
• ✓ You need the cause documented before repairs erase it

Structural Defects

Foundations, framing, and load-bearing failures that threaten the building and its value.

Water Intrusion

Leaks, drainage, and moisture damage that spread and worsen if left unaddressed.

Code Violations

Work that does not meet the building code or the approved plans.

Workmanship Defects

Poor or incomplete work that falls short of the contract and industry standards.

Design Defects

Errors in the plans or specifications that set the failure in motion.

Defect Defense

Builders wrongly blamed. We show the real cause and the real responsible party.

Consultation

Tell us about the project, the contract, and where it went wrong. We find the issues that matter most and the deadlines that apply.

Review Contract & Record

We dig into the documents, the schedule, and the correspondence to find your strongest position.

Claim or Defend

We file, demand, negotiate, or litigate, with a clear plan and a calendar of every deadline.

Resolve or Try It

We push for the strongest resolution available and are fully prepared to take it to court or arbitration.

“Defect cases live or die on evidence, and evidence disappears the moment someone starts repairs. The first thing I tell a client is do not fix it yet, document it. We bring in the right engineer, establish what actually failed, and tie it to the party responsible. On the defense side, my job is often the opposite: showing that the crack everyone is pointing at came from a design the builder did not draw or a condition the builder did not create. Either way, you win with proof, not opinion.”
