Introduction to construction defects & litigation.French construction defects & construction litigation Law Attorneys and Solicitors
Whether it is a family home or business premises, real estate is one of the biggest investments most people and companies ever make. When construction defects result in the reduction of its value, or make it unfit for use, you are faced not only with the loss of your investment but with additional costs for repairs, demolition or reconstruction, and the cost of resolving the dispute.
French construction defect law gives you the right to demand that the builder, and in some cases the developer, subcontractors, materials suppliers or previous owners, to repair or remediate the defect and compensate you for your damages.
At Benjamin A. Kergueno, LL.M, we have seen many homeowners and business owners affected by construction defects. Sometimes builders or workmen cut corners to save money. Construction workers or installers may not have been properly trained. Other times, the materials used may have been damaged or defective.
We will hold contractors accountable
At Benjamin A. Kergueno, LL.M, we will review all aspects of a construction project that is in progress or completed. Contractors have a duty to live up to their agreements with you. When they fall short, delays occur and that only drives up your costs.
The sense of accomplishment with a completed construction project can soon become problematic when defects are found. Shortcuts taken or certain aspects of the project that were overlooked will result in your paying out more money to fix those defects. We will help you recover from those losses by bringing in engineering experts and appraisers to help build your case.
