Civil Appeals FAQs

What qualifies as a construction defect?

A construction defect occurs when design, materials, or workmanship fail to meet building code, industry standards, or contractual obligations, resulting in property damage or diminished value.

Depending on the circumstances, liability may involve builders, general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers, developers, or product manufacturers whose work or materials contributed to the defect.

Colorado law sets specific deadlines for construction defect claims, which depend on a variety of factors and can only be determined by analysis of your specific circumstances. Speaking with an attorney early helps ensure important deadlines are not missed
