Construction Defect Litigation Defense

There has been an explosive increase in commercial and residential construction activity in Colorado in the last decade. This growth has brought about a corresponding increase in construction defect litigation. We specialize in the representation of developers, builders, subcontractors, design professionals and insurers who are faced with construction defect claims and lawsuits.

Our lawyers have been directly involved in all aspects of construction defect litigation for many years. We have defended developers and builders in several of the largest class action suits filed in the state. We have handled cases involving expansive soils, steeply dipping bedrock, virtually every material used in residential and commercial construction, grading, drainage, interior and exterior flatwork, streets and roads, waterproofing and prestressed concrete, to name a few. We have mediated, arbitrated and litigated construction defect cases throughout Colorado. We have obtained cash settlements, "performance" settlements and "buy-out" settlements in cases involving hundreds of structures. We have defended lawsuits brought by individual homeowners, condominium associations and townhome associations.

We have also drawn upon our experience in construction defect litigation to develop methods and strategies to help our clients avoid claims. For example, we provide advice to our clients on matters involving disclosures in purchase and sale agreements, construction project quality control, and drafting and reviewing contracts for general contractors and subcontractors.
