Colorado Springs Begins to Adopt a Construction Defect Ordinance

Colorado Springs is taking construction defects to a municipal level.  In council chambers filled with builder-advocate groups, Council members recently voted unanimously on the first reading of this ordinance.  The ordinance seeks to restrict the rights of homeowners to hold builders accountable for defective construction. If the ordinance is approved by a final vote set to occur on December 8, the ability to bring claims in the Springs under municipal law will be limited.
