Riverside, California Construction Defect Attorney
Litigation involving construction defects are often expert-driven cases that require analyses and testimony from engineers, hydrologists, architects, surveyors, materials experts, and others. In many cases, blueprints must be consulted and construction techniques evaluated to determine if violations of standard protocols, codes, or established construction techniques were involved.
At The Mellor Law Firm, our construction defects attorney works closely with a wide variety of experts in litigation involving allegations of faulty construction. We involve independent labs and inspection firms to investigate construction techniques, departures from blueprints, and the quality of materials used.
Even if code violations are present or faulty materials are identified, the damage experienced may not be directly caused by them. Consequently, investigating and determining the cause of damage is essential.
Regardless of whether you’re a construction company, subcontractor, real estate developer, or homeowner, we have the experience and resources necessary to help you. To schedule an appointment and discuss your case, contact construction defects lawyers at The Mellor Law Firm today.

Subcontractors and Construction Defects
Most construction projects involve the use of subcontractors to install air conditioners, freezers, heating units, sprinklers, and electrical lighting. As a result, disputes may arise over who is ultimately to blame when defects or damage are discovered. Subrogation may further complicate a case, involving opposing insurers that delay settlement and may lead to financial difficulty if not bankruptcy.
Working with experts, our construction defects attorney leverages our client’s case through evidence and information gathered during our own investigation. While we are willing to enter into mediation and negotiate a settlement, we prepare each case for litigation and work in full consultation with our clients.
