Consult With a Seattle Construction Defect Attorney

Our real estate and construction law attorneys are available to examine and explore your options after a construction defect has resulted in loss or injury or has been brought against you or your company. Questions we are prepared to work hard to find answers to include:

  • Was the quality of workmanship in compliance with all rules and regulations — and with standards evident in comparable buildings?
  • Were terms of the contract adhered to?
  • If there was a change order, was it authorized?
  • Did construction work fall within the scope of the contract?
  • Who owes whom for work done, and was the work done properly?
  • Were property defects disclosed to a buyer?
  • Is the builder guilty of “failure to perform” construction work that was agreed upon?
  • Did the construction project comply with statutory requirements?
  • Did the construction breach an implied warranty of habitability?

Answers to these questions will help determine whether you have a viable construction defect claim against any party or parties. Our accomplished trial lawyers are a valuable source of information and advocacy for people who have been wronged in construction defect cases.
