Construction Defect Claim Letter:

A construction defect claim letter is a formal written notice from a property owner to a contractor, asserting a legal claim for damages or remedies arising from defects in the construction work. The letter typically includes a detailed description of the defects, the resulting damages or losses, and the legal basis for the claim, such as breach of contract, negligence, or violation of building codes. It may also specify the owner’s demands for compensation, repair, or other relief, and a deadline for the contractor to respond or take action. The purpose of a construction defect claim letter is to put the contractor on notice of the owner’s intent to pursue legal action and to seek a resolution of the dispute. It serves as a precursor to filing a lawsuit and demonstrates the owner’s good faith efforts to resolve the matter without litigation. Construction defect claim letters should be carefully drafted, supported by evidence and expert opinions, and served on the contractor in accordance with legal requirements.
