If the contractor building next to you can’t make things right, get er done!

I would reach out to the developer pronto before filing lawsuit or insurance claim.

Insurance companies get rather upset when you file claims and have been known to quickly raise rates or say bye.

Most likely not a covered loss. It's not a direct loss to the insured property, as the damage
happened over time and it's damage caused by ground movement which is normally not covered.

It’s safe to say that unless you are completely surrounded by homes and or wildlife preserves that legally can never be built on, you should always assume heavy construction could eventually happen near your home. Look no further than the poor residents who paid a premium to live near the former Hacienda Hills clubhouse, restaurant, pool, tennis course, postal station, etc… who thought they were safe. They now live in the middle of a construction zone with dangerous traffic issues.

This isn't new. When we moved here in 2005 we had red dirt dust for months and continual construction. Once built out it was great except for the tornado, then construction again. It's the way it is and we knew our area wasn't the last to be built.

Not as bad as
buying next to the turnpike and complaining about the turnpike noise
or
Buying next to an entertainment venue (sawgrass) and complaining about the music.

So, probably number 3 on the list.

Guess we are not as smart as you

I would contact the Construction Company supervisor. Generally, any damage occurring as a result of their construction practices would be covered by the Construction Company's insurance.

How do you know there was any damage? Did you see the word “damage” in the OP’s post? I didn’t, wreak havoc could mean losing nap time to getting startled. Also, I’m sure the OP isn’t the only person in that village and where are all the other complaints about “wreak havoc”?

You're late to the party and missed it.

I don't see the word "damage" in post #1 either. However, what I do see is the phrase "Last edited by Vershire; Yesterday at 04:43 PM.." Some might take that as an indication that the current text of post #1 isn't the original text and hesitate before creating a snarky reply.

Glad you got it mitigated so quickly, thanks for letting us know.

Our days as pioneers on the new frontier will be behind us in about a year.

What kind of damage are we talking about here? I live in Linden South (just north of Monarch Grove) and haven't felt anything nor heard of anybody feeling anything.

But did your home experience damage? OP is not talking about inconvenience.

I thought I read somewhere that there was concrete cracking?

I thought I read somewhere that a Costco was coming.

OP changed original post and deleted about 2/3. Part of original post was….

In her original post it said “ that the machinery caused the whole house to shake the light fixtures, duck work, and windows just shake and there is one heck of a din that scares pets and adults alike. I think (din) a misspelling.”

Next sentence states ‘that it also doing wonders for our pools decks and windows many of us have cracks that Have developed, or seals that have broken.”
