A construction deficiency is a flaw or defect in a building or structure that does not meet the proper building code requirements or industry standards. These deficiencies can manifest in various ways, including but not limited to, water intrusion, mold growth, foundation issues, electrical problems, and structural defects.
Construction deficiencies can occur during any phase of the construction process, from design to building and even post-construction. They can result from a variety of factors, including faulty materials, inadequate workmanship, design errors, or improper installation.
If a construction deficiency is not identified and addressed promptly, it can lead to significant damage and cost for property owners or Home Owners Associations (HOAs). In South Carolina, there is a statute of repose that limits the time frame in which property owners and HOAs can bring a claim for construction deficiencies, so it is essential to identify and address these issues as soon as possible.
If you suspect that your property has construction deficiencies, it is essential to seek the advice of an experienced construction defect attorney who can help you assess your situation and determine the best course of action. They can help you navigate the complex legal process, investigate the source of the problem, and work to ensure that you receive the compensation and repairs that you are entitled to.
