About construction defect

 In California, homeowners and their associations have a statutory right to bring claims for construction defects against their builder and other responsible parties.  This process is governed by Senate Bill 800 (SB 800), also known as the Right to Repair Act.  SB 800 requires parties to participate in a pre-litigation procedure before engaging in litigation.  During this pre-litigation procedure, the builder has an opportunity to make repairs if they choose.  Even if the builder elects to make repairs, they can still be held responsible for inadequate or failed repairs.  Oftentimes, the builder makes some of the needed repairs, but not all of them.  In this instance, a settlement is often reached for the defects that have not been repaired or have been inadequately repaired.  If you believe your community may have defects, contact us today and we would be happy to answer your questions and provide you with guidance.
