CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS & BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS
When the Work Doesn't Meet the Standard.
Construction defects can range from minor cosmetic issues to serious structural failures. Whether the problem is water intrusion, foundation failure, faulty systems, or work that fails to meet Florida's building codes, our firm builds strong cases against the responsible parties and fights to recover every dollar our clients are owed.
Building code violations trigger stop-work orders, failed inspections, fines, and the costly process of redoing non-compliant work. We represent property owners, contractors, and developers in code enforcement matters and guide clients through the compliance process from start to finish.
Time Matters in Defect Cases
Florida's statute of repose and statute of limitations set strict deadlines for construction defect claims. Waiting too long can cost you your right to recovery entirely. If you suspect a construction defect, call us today.
Building Code Violations
We represent property owners who discover non-compliant work, contractors defending against code claims, and developers navigating stop-work orders, at every stage of the enforcement process.
CONTRACTOR, SUBCONTRACTOR & WARRANTY DISPUTES
When the People or Policies That Were Supposed to Protect You Don't.
Whether a contractor has abandoned your project, performed substandard work, refused to pay a subcontractor, or filed an improper lien, these disputes can derail timelines and destroy budgets fast. Our attorneys resolve these conflicts through negotiation, mediation, or full litigation when necessary, and handle construction lien filing and defense to protect your rights throughout the process.
When recovery runs through a warranty, an insurance policy, or a surety bond, we push back on anyone minimizing their obligations and pursue every available avenue to make sure our clients are made whole.

DELAY, DISRUPTION & FINANCIAL LOSS
When the Project Runs Off the Rails.
“In construction disputes, the details matter. every contract clause, every code requirement, every deadline. We know where to look and exactly what to fight for.”
Delays and disruptions on construction projects can result in significant and cascading financial losses. Our firm represents property owners, developers, and contractors in delay and disruption claims, carefully analyzing project timelines, contracts, change orders, and communications to identify exactly who is responsible and what it actually cost. We hold the right party accountable for every dollar the delay produced.
