Every party that is involved in a construction project can play a role to ensure that construction defects and deficiencies do not occur. Construction defects, however, are an integral part of the construction industry.

Our construction attorneys handle a multitude of construction defect claims, on both sides of the issue. Whether you need to bring a claim or are being sued for a defect, we can protect your rights and advance your best interests. The type and variety of construction defect claims can be as varied as the entities, materials and contracts involved in a construction project. Construction defect claims are especially challenging on condominium projects as they involve multiple party exposures. We have found that construction defect claims frequently involve the following:

Whether the result of design deficiencies, material deficiencies, construction deficiencies or subsurface conditions, the defects can be costly to repair or worse, can cause injury to occupants of the building.

GTHW represents owners, developers, and indirectly construction management firms, involved in construction defect disputes and breach of contract claims. We assess each specific claim in the context of our client's background, concerns, contract rights and goals. Depending on various specific factors, we proceed toward resolving defect claims through negotiation, litigation representation or other forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) such as arbitration or mediation.
