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.
