Construction

There has been an explosive increase in commercial and residential construction activity in South Carolina, as well as the entire Southeast region over the last fifteen years. This growth has brought about a dramatic increase in construction defect litigation. We specialize in the representation of developers, builders, subcontractors, design professionals, product manufacturers, and suppliers in the defense of construction defect claims and lawsuits. Olson & Good attorneys handle these matters on behalf of individual builders, as well as their insurance companies.

Clay Olson, Dan Bradley, Joe Good, III, and Jay Brown have litigated construction defect matters in 15 South Carolina counties. Members of the firm have represented developers in complex, multi-plaintiff litigation, including class actions. We have handled cases involving allegations of structural deficiencies, defective products and materials, water intrusion, mold, termite damage, grading, drainage, interior and exterior flatwork, streets and roads, waterproofing and concrete. While this is not an exhaustive list, it should serve to establish that our firm is capable of handling all construction defect issues.

Olson & Good employs a firm wide philosophy which is based on the provision of value driven legal services. The firm believes in, and adheres to principals which encourage the expeditious, efficient, and successful resolution of disputes. While every case is different, arbitration and mediation are encouraged by our firm as a way for clients to save money.

Our law firm services have evolved with our client’s needs. Our experience litigating construction cases has enabled the firm to stress risk management principals. We want contactors and others in the building industry to draw from our experience for purposes of avoiding lawsuits. Our firm works with builders and developers, as well as risk management companies to implement solutions which are employed for the avoidance of risk. Contractual indemnity, additional insured language, and other risk transfer precautions are paramount in the success of building professionals.
