Cases of building damage or construction defects can take various forms: including cracks or fissures, condensation or moisture problems, deficiencies in stability, workmanship,…<\/p>\n

Construction damage can occur during new construction, renovation, or small remodeling projects. But even if you don’t have the work carried out yourself, it can still happen to you. For example, if a contractor builds an extension against your property and causes damage.<\/p>\n

In any case, construction damage means a lot of headaches. Not only are there the immediate inconveniences caused by the defects. The solution to the problem could well lead to a financial hangover. Can you hold the contractor liable? And how?<\/p>\n

An official report from a construction expert is needed for legal proceedings or insurance filings to objectively determine the construction damage and defects and their causes. This report can then be used as evidence.<\/p>\n

EDM Services can prepare this expert report for you.<\/p>\n

Builder’s liability?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fixing construction defects or damage can incur significant costs. It is possible that the contractor is responsible and you can hold them liable. However, this is not always clear, as the causes of defects or damage can sometimes be difficult to determine.<\/p>\n
