The Statue Of Repose is 10 years for structural damage.
It is my understanding that the concrete used for the slab is a fast cure but it still has not satisfied my concern. I had three floors redone down to the concrete slab and the cracks while long where narrow and indicated normal settling. These homes go up much too fast. In fact I have witnessed people who have had additions that took much longer to complete
I support what Chillybean is saying because he has done this type of work and because he is addressing building problems and not attacking the villages of Lake Sumter , Inc (VLSI) (Developer) and any contractor.
I also agree that people really won't see much of a structural problem in their homes for perhaps the first ten years but then what?
It is common practice for all developers to cut corners to maximize profits.
Also given the price of a home there is little really style or amenities
I also don't believe price saves you from bad construction. In the Minneapolis area they had a real problem with succo/stone homes and water entry. A legal case/ decision that helped many homeowners involved a $5 million home that ended up with $4 million in restoration costs.
Finally I will always side with residents, and not the Developer, because they are my neighbors and they are experiencing the same concerns as me. Village of Lake sumter, Inc made his money off me and has long forgotten
