008: The Blueprint to Protecting Yourself from Construction Defects
What if the very foundation of your dream home is a ticking time bomb of hidden flaws?
Join Colby Lewis on this episode of Hold My Briefcase as he unravels the labyrinth of construction defect legalities. From the first blueprint draft to the final nail, navigating the construction of residential and commercial buildings can be fraught with pitfalls. Learn how to safeguard your investment by understanding the critical role of the punch list in ensuring quality and uncovering latent defects that might not become apparent until the contractor is long gone. Knowing your rights and responsibilities is crucial, especially in places like Texas, where legal protections can be as fleeting as a tumbleweed in the wind.
Colby will tackle the murky waters of accountability, or the lack thereof, among contractors and subcontractors. Discover how blame is passed around like a hot potato, leaving homeowners out in the cold with inadequate waterproofing or structural issues. He will give you the knowledge to demand the quality you deserve, stand firm against excuses, and ensure your project's rightful completion.
With resources and insights available on Colby's website, take control of your construction projects confidently and clearly.
