3.0 out of 5 stars Sad Story, November 9, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: And They Built a Crooked House (Paperback)
Every construction project has its unique problems. The Martins story involves contract breach in terms of quality construction, not discovered until after they had the deed to their home. The responsibility for the defects, because of the contract, was divided between the developer, architect and builder, a somewhat unique situation.

The book might be more useful if it had an index. I was interested enough to order two books recommended in the Bibliography - Appendix C. This is not a bibliography in the true sense of the word, but a suggested reading lists. (Bibliographies normally cite references used in the document.)

In terms of how useful the book is for our litigation, I would have to say - none. The best feature is how it explains that the Owners will be the loser to some degree, no matter how good their case, if it goes to Court. The Defendants are going to lie and distort the issues.

THe author encourages arbitration as a form of resolution.
