Residents of a four-year-old luxury condominium complex on Wellington Crescent are in a protracted court battle with the building's architect, developers and builder over more than a million dollars worth of repairs required to fix a leaky underground parkade.

A lot is at stake for the residents in the nearly two-year-old dispute, which is scheduled to resume later this month in Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench.

From KOMO Seattle- Prime Seattle Condo Undergoing Construction Defect Repairs Including...Ta Da, Balconies!

Another construction company who should have spent more on quality rather than bonuses???

SEATTLE - He has a great balcony, and an amazing view, but Cory Streater's condo will be ripped apart in a few weeks.

Now, a $26 million dollar settlement involving the developer and construction company will get the issues fixed.

Balconies will have to come down, floorboards will have to pulled up and Streater's life, along with hundreds of others in the complex, will be turned upside down.

From Builder Magazine - KB Home Estimates Defect Repairs to Cost $43.2 Million

Maybe KB should have spent a little more on waterproofing and quality control rather than executive bonuses? Just saying...


California-based builder expects to spend $43.2 million to repair more than 1,000 homes in central and southwest Florida with water damage caused by construction defects.

By 
Teresa Burney

Fixing construction defects in more than 1,000 Florida homes is expected to cost KB Home $43.2 million, according to the builder's second quarter filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are 1,140 central and southwest Florida KB houses built between 2003 and 2009 that need more than minor repairs from water damage caused by defective framing, stucco, roofing, and sealant installation. The $43.2 million sum is for repairs to those houses as well as fixes to homes the company thinks are likely to be identified later.

HGTV Casting Call-Are You the Embarrassed Owner of a Disaster Deck? Decked Out’s Paul Lafrance is Looking for You!

From HGTV's Casting Call page- it's so cute how they spell humor up above the US border...and do they really still say "wicked" up there? 

Is your deck a DIY disaster? Decked Out's expert deck designer Paul Lafrance wants you for Disaster Decks, a new series airing every Tuesday at 10pm on HGTV Canada! 

We're looking for owners of decrepit decks to work alongside Paul and his team.  Together, we'll transform your yard from awful to awesome!

We're looking for people for our second season who have built or repaired their disaster deck and meet the following criteria:

• Live in Toronto, Markham, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby or Scarborough 
• Deck surface needs replacing
• Have some building know-how
• Able to take a few days off to be on the show
• Willing to contribute between $4,000 and $10,000 to the build (we kick in the rest!)
• Deck footings must be in decent shape, and the "footprint" of your deck must remain the same
• Have a terrific attitude and a wicked sense of humour!

Do you need your deck pride restored?  Send an email to casting@architect-films.com with your city and suburb in the subject line, along with a paragraph about why your deck needs to be featured on the show.  Please also send pictures of your deck and your family.

We can't wait to hear from you!
