Construction projects can often feel redundant and unremarkable, as we are used to driving or walking by countless sites. Whether it is road construction, the construction of a home, commercial building, housing units or the like, these projects and the success of them is not likely to be a concern unless you are a party to the project.
Thus, when something goes wrong, this can be detrimental for all parties involved in the construction project. Whether you are a property owner, employed in the construction industry, a member of a homeowner’s association or condominium board or business owner, you have rights when it comes to addressing damages involved in a construction dispute.
