Construction Defect Disputes
In construction defect disputes involving apartments and buildings, we conduct parallel technical and legal analysis
covering the existence of defects, repair cost assessment, and determination of liable parties.
Overview
Construction defect disputes involve claims for defect repair in collective buildings such as apartments and officetels, claims for damages in lieu of repair, determination of the scope of liability of contractors, supervisors, and designers, and issues concerning the exclusion period for the warranty against defects. These matters simultaneously require technical knowledge in construction and structural engineering as well as legal analysis under civil law and the Act on the Ownership and Management of Aggregate Buildings.
PYEONG AN possesses extensive experience in large-scale apartment defect litigation, defect disputes in commercial buildings, and responses to defect appraisal procedures. Working in close collaboration with construction experts and appraisers, we conduct precise analysis of the existence of defects, repair cost assessment, and the scope of contractor liability.
