 Florida Statutes
Enacted in 2003, and applying to most construction defect actions in the State of Florida, Chapter 558 of the Florida Statutes provides an alternative dispute resolution process in lieu of a formal lawsuit. The claim process, which may be completed in as little as four to five months, involves the homeowner or homeowner association filing a notice of claim with the contractor, subcontractor, supplier and/or responsible design professional, advising them of the claimed defective conditions, and providing them with an opportunity to resolve the claim without resort to further legal process. The Chapter 558 claims process is a prerequisite to a claimant's ability to pursue a formal legal action against developers or builders in the vast majority of construction defect actions in the State of Florida. There are many requirements and deadlines articulated within the statute, and we would be happy to explain the process in further detail with and at no cost to your homeowner association or board of directors. Please feel free to contact us to discuss Chapter 558, its applicability to your home or association, our cost efficient approach to resolving these claims, or to answer other questions that you may have regarding construction defect matters.
It’s Your Home. The construction boom in the State of Florida has led to a rise in the use of untrained and unskilled labor, leading to shoddy worksmanship, code violations and poor building practices. Who’s responsible?

Your bulider is responsible for the costs to remedy defects in the construction of your home, condominium, office condominium, or apartment building.

What to look for:

Staining in interior drywall and corners of window sills.

Staining on carpet tack strip at sliding glass doors.

Look at the frequency and size of cracking in your drywall, stucco and foundation – are the cracks wide enough to place a dime in and longer than a foot?

Do you have standing water after it rains and does that water drain towards the house?
