What counts as poor construction?

Poor construction claims typically involve work that fails to meet agreed standards, timelines, or safety expectations. Common examples include:

A contractor who takes payment but doesn’t finish the work

Renovations that don’t match the agreed scope or plans

Structural defects, leaks, or safety issues after completion

Repeated delays with no valid explanation

Refusal to fix defects during the warranty or agreed repair period

Work completed below standard or not to code
