A construction defect is any flaw or deficiency in the design, workmanship, or materials used in the construction of a building or structure. These defects can manifest in various forms, ranging from minor cosmetic issues to significant structural problems that compromise the safety and integrity of the building. Common examples include cracks in foundations, water intrusion, electrical wiring errors, and inadequate insulation. Construction defects can arise during any phase of the building process, from initial planning and design to construction and post-construction. Resolving construction defects often requires thorough investigation, expert analysis, and potentially legal action to rectify the issues and allocate responsibility among the parties involved.
