Delay & Deficiency Claims
Delay claims or deficiency claims are two commonly occurring disputes that can arise during the course of a construction project and can be a costly risk to those involved on the job. These are sometimes unavoidable and can occur despite carefully drafted construction contracts, seriously impacting the timeline of a project and causing massive losses.
At Rousseau Mazzuca LLP, we have extensive experience representing clients in delay and deficiency claims and have successfully both filed and defended these actions. We understand that it is imperative for work to recommence as soon as possible or to continue despite any claims made, and our goal is to help our clients through any challenges that may arise. We have many years of experience with these claims and approach them strategically and with an in-depth understanding of their complexities and unique characteristics.
DEFICIENCY CLAIMS
There are often disputes about the quality of work being done on a project. These can range from the wrong materials being used to serious structural or engineering issues.
A deficiency claim can be filed against a contractor or subcontractor where a party involved in a construction project is unsatisfied with the work being done. These claims can have significant financial implications and must be taken seriously. If a deficiency claim has been filed against you, or if you want to file a claim yourself, it is best to consult with a lawyer with in-depth knowledge of construction law.
