When you hire a contractor to perform home repair and remodeling work, you expect that the project will be completed correctly. Unfortunately, this does not always happen, and you may find construction defects.
Proving fault in a construction dispute
You may have to initiate a lawsuit against the contractor, in which case, you will need to prove the existence of the defect, that the contractor caused the defect, and the damages relating to that defect.
This may require the use of other contractors and other individuals as experts. The type of expert depends on the defect. You may need a building code expert if the construction was not up to code. You may need an expert on the materials used, or one experienced in the manner of constructions.
Construction defects can ruin what may have started out as an exciting building project. Be careful about how you choose a contractor. Vet them by examining on line reviews, interviewing references, and examining past projects. If a dispute arises, make sure to obtain competent legal representation who will help you prove your case with the correct experts.
