This review is from: Construction Defect Litigation: The Community Association's Guide to the Legal Process (Hardcover)

We bought a luxury condo from Crescent Heights (they are mentioned in this book). The design of our place is awful and the materials used are substandard. Suffice it to say, there are a lot of problems in our new condo. We bought this book to learn about construction litigation and found this book quite valuable.
