Texas Construction Defect Lawyers
Is shoddy construction or are defective systems causing expensive problems?
No budget to repair or hire lawyers to go toe to toe with the general contractor?

Gravely construction defect lawyers can help ? and we do so on ?a contingency basis.

Texas construction law provides a 10 year time frame for building owners to make defect claims with general contractors and design professionals for defective materials or systems, negligent or shoddy construction, or flawed site work.

In typical cases we see construction problems in these areas:?

Roofing Systems?
Window Systems
Wall Systems?
Grading & Drainage
HVAC and Other Systems?

While some general contractors make good on their legal promises, in our experience when things go wrong, too many "GCs" try to avoid their legitimate liability. They use stall tactics, one-sided and self-interested "investigations", wrongful claim denials, even legal bullying, and other methods intended to force legitimate claimants with valid construction defect claims to give up and go away.?

Gravely Texas clients include people responsible for public sector properties:?

Texas independent school districts?
Charter schools?
Universities?
Municipal buildings?
State and county projects?
Transit authorities?
Public hospitals?
County jails
Other government facilities?

We also serve private sector property owners including:?

Retirement communities?: HVAC imbalances, improperly sealed balconies, and poorly flashed windows plague retirement communities, contributing to increased heating and cooling costs and excess moisture that can shorten the life of your building. We help retirement community owners recoup costs to deal with these issues and hold general contractors accountable.
HOA's (Home Owner Associations)?: It's all too common for newly built planned communities to suffer from improperly installed roofing, window, drainage, and heating and cooling systems. These building problems can force members of the community to pay much more in maintenance and repair costs than anticipated. If your HOA is dealing with the aftereffects of shoddy construction, let Gravely attorneys help you find legal recourse.
Condominium boards?: Because of the massive demand for new condo construction, many general contractors cut corners to get the job done and move on to the next project. Our lawyers help condo board members recover money lost due to poor-quality work that causes leaks, drafts and imbalanced HVAC systems, while ensuring that all condo by-laws are followed.
Hospitals and medical buildings?: With numerous specialized systems and structures, it's especially important that medical buildings are built correctly. Our lawyers help hospitals and medical offices recover compensation for faulty construction, allowing owners and administrators to get back to caring for patients instead of worrying about failing roofs, windows, and HVAC systems.
Apartments?: Poorly built apartment buildings cause a host of problems for owners, such as drafty windows, leaky roofs, and water pooling on balconies or around the foundation. These issues can lead to unhappy residents and bloated maintenance and energy costs. Gravely helps apartment owners determine the root cause of their increasing costs and hold the responsible parties accountable.

As commercial contingency lawyers, at our expense our construction experts perform an on-site physical audit to identify the complete measure of damage and the specific defective work and/or system. What went wrong and when? How did it go wrong? Are there any related damages to other parts of your facility? ?

We answer these and 50 other questions to prepare the strongest possible claim from the outset. ?

Our experience, expert findings, and legal expertise can lead to a relatively quick resolution for full compensation; however our experience as Texas trial lawyers either further motivates a settlement or allows us to fast track your case to a courtroom; again, on a contingency basis. You pay nothing if we do not win.?

Insurance Experience ? Just as insurance policies run the gamut from Gulf-front communities' hurricane coverage to multi-tiered commercial policies for office buildings and everywhere in between, so too do the legal rules and realities involved in taking on an insurer bent on bad faith conduct. Gravely lawyers know the law, insurers' tactics, and can also assess the physical structural and financial damages that should be included in a claim for full compensation. We are experienced, aggressive, and street wise in insurance coverage and bad faith cases.?
