Tallahassee Construction Defect Lawyer
Construction defects are a result of deficiencies in the design, the workmanship, or the materials used to build a property. To further elaborate, defects can be categorized as the following:
- Deficiencies in construction are related to poor workmanship that can result in issues like plumbing or electrical problems
- Deficiencies in design are a result of insufficient designed by architects or engineers
- Deficiencies in material lead to the property not performing as expected because the products may be of a lower quality or may have been damaged before installation
- Deficiencies in maintenance or operation involve the lack of proper maintenance after it has been built
- These defects lead to a decrease in property value due to the structure failing to perform according to expectation.
