Florida Construction Defects

Think your building has a defect? Find out if you have a case.

Cracks, leaks, mold, foundation or structural problems — if it was built wrong, you may be owed a fix or a payout. We check the engineering, the deadlines, and whether your builder is even collectible, then connect you to the right attorney.

Two paths, one team of experts

Whether it's your home or a building you're responsible for, the first question is the same: is this a real, provable, still-in-time defect?

How it works

From "something's wrong" to a verified case

We don't just take your name and sell it. We build the proof that makes attorneys compete for your case.

1

Tell us what's wrong

A few questions about the defect, the property, the builder, and when it was built.

2

We run the checks

Statute deadlines, a licensed-engineer defect review, and whether your builder is insured & collectible.

3

We verify the case

A preliminary forensic assessment turns your problem into engineering-backed proof of a real, provable defect.

4

Matched to an attorney

Your verified case goes to a construction-defect attorney who wants exactly this kind of claim.

Why Florida, why now

The SB-4D wave is forcing defects into the open

Florida's new milestone-inspection and reserve-study laws are making thousands of aging condos document structural problems for the first time — and the clock to act runs from the day the building was finished, not the day you find the problem.

What you get

Real answers before you spend a dime

Before you hire anyone or pay for anything, we do the hard part for you — and tell you the truth about whether you actually have a case worth pursuing.

We prove what's wrong

Licensed engineers use ground-penetrating radar and core sampling to show exactly what's defective and what caused it — so you know if it's the builder's fault, not just a guess.

We check your deadline

Florida's clock is brutal and starts the day your building was finished. We tell you up front whether you're still in time — missing it is the #1 reason people lose the right to recover.

We tell you if it's worth it

A defect only matters if someone can actually pay to fix it. We check that the builder is licensed, insured, and still in business — so you don't chase a dead end.

Common questions

Do I actually have a case?

What counts as a construction defect? +
Anything built contrary to code, plans, or accepted practice that causes damage — structural cracks, water intrusion, mold, foundation movement, stucco failure, roofing and waterproofing problems, and more. If it's making your property unsafe, unhealthy, or worth less, it may be a defect the builder is responsible for.
How long do I have to act in Florida? +
Generally 4 years from when you discover (or should have discovered) the defect — but an absolute 7-year "statute of repose" runs from the building's completion date, no matter when you find the problem. Because that clock is unforgiving, checking your dates early is the most important first step.
Do I have to sue my builder? +
Not necessarily. Florida law (Chapter 558) requires a pre-suit notice that gives the builder a chance to inspect and offer a repair or payment first — many cases resolve there. We help you build the engineering proof that makes that process work in your favor.
What does this cost me? +
The case check is free. Construction-defect attorneys typically work on contingency, and the forensic engineering is handled as part of building your case — so you can find out where you stand at no upfront cost.
