What if the builder doesn cooperate?
We recommend you contact a lawyer to discuss the legal rights and remedies you may have. Sometimes just the idea that you, and perhaps your neighbors or homeowners association might bring a lawsuit, is enough to spur the builder to fix the problems. If not, bringing legal action may be the only way to resolve the problems, especially if they are so substantial that the builder cannot or will not financially solve them by himself. Once litigation is initiated, the builder, subcontractors and insurance companies are usually involved. The information given above is general in nature and is not intended as legal advice. The matters discussed are subject to great complexity and subtle gradations of application depending on their specific factual context. There is no substitute for sound legal advice from trusted legal counsel in light of specific facts.
