Who’s Liable for a Construction Defect?
Construction projects involve many players, and when something goes wrong, liability doesn’t always fall on just one party. Depending on how your home or property was built, the following may be held responsible:
- General contractors who oversee the project and approve work
- Subcontractors responsible for specific trades like concrete, roofing, or plumbing
- Architects or engineers whose designs or calculations were flawed
- Material suppliers who provided defective or non-compliant products
- Developers who rushed or cut corners to maximize profits
We investigate every angle of a defect case to ensure the right parties are held accountable, whether that’s one builder or an entire construction team.
Texas law places strict time limits on when you can file a claim for construction defects and the clock may already be ticking.
Time Limits for Filing a Construction Defect Lawsuit in Texas
- 10-Year Statute of Repose: In most cases, you have 10 years from the date construction was completed to file a lawsuit.
- 6-Year Limit With Warranty: If a builder provided a written warranty, you may have only six years to take legal action.
- Shorter Deadlines for Insurance Claims: If your builder’s insurer has denied coverage for the damage, you could face a separate two-year deadline for bad faith insurance claims.
These timelines are unforgiving. If you miss your window, you may lose your right to seek compensation, even if the defect is clear. Don’t wait to get answers; let Wenholz Law help you act before time runs out.
