Who else could a construction defect case be filed against?

Even without the builder or developer, depending upon the cause of the defect as determined in the investigation period explained previously, the case can proceed. Depending on the scope of the construction project, a great number of parties may have been involved in the planning and construction process. Therefore, suit may be filed against the design professionals, architects, engineers, or the general contractor and the subcontractors. There could also be cases made against material suppliers and material manufacturers. For mass-produced residential housing, strict liability is available against the developer for all claims of defective design and construction. However, if the developer does not have sufficient money or available insurance to settle or satisfy a judgment, additional defendants should also be considered.

We take into consideration the time sensitivity of construction cases and work towards a rapid solution, whether through Mediation, Arbitration, Litigation or Negotiation.
