Construction
Defect Litigation
Contractors and developers deliver insufficient work to homeowners frequently in Charleston and across South Carolina. Resulting in leaking roofs and windows, rotting wood and termites, sinkholes and collapsing driveways and buckled floors. Fortunately, state law arms homeowners with powerful rights and remedies against builders and developers. Our firm has more than a decade of experience putting these influential tools to use when developing claims against builders, developers, architects, engineers and others responsible for defective land development and construction.
