What is a Construction Defect?
A construction defect is typically defined as a shortcoming or imperfection in design, workmanship, or materials that leads to the failure of an aspect of a home or building to the point that it causes actual financial damage to the property owner.
Construction defects come in a wide range of different forms. Some common examples include:
- Builder defects in a brand-new home;
- Window leaks/faulty windows;
- Roof leaks or other issues with roofing;
- Problems with wood floors or other flooring;
- Foundation defects, including cracks in the foundation;
- Defective wiring and other electrical hazards;

- Improper drainage system;
