Credentials you can build on
Every SpenceZeta Group litigation support matter is handled with the same rigor we bring to construction projects. because our team is the construction team.
In-House Licensed Contractors
Our CGC and CCC professionals have poured the concrete, installed the roofs, and managed the subs. We spot defects, code violations, and warranty breaches that pure litigators miss.
Recovery Mindset
We bring the same results-driven approach used by top Florida construction defect firms recovering hundreds of millions for associations, owners, and developers.
Years South Florida
Deep knowledge of Miami-Dade NOA requirements, High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standards, flood zones, insurance realities, and exact building practices since the early-2000s boom.
Vertically Integrated Insight
When defects arise in properties we sold through SpenceZeta Realty or built through SpenceZeta Construction, we already know the full history. giving you an immediate, decisive edge.
Construction-Focused · High-Value
Our Litigation Support Services
We focus on the highest-recovery matters in Florida. the disputes where construction expertise wins or loses the case.
Construction Defect Claims
Recovery for defective workmanship, materials, design errors, and code violations in new construction, renovations, and re-roofs.
- Water intrusion & moisture damage (roofs, windows, balconies, stucco)
- Structural deficiencies & foundation issues
- HVAC, electrical, plumbing & fire-safety defects
- Hurricane-code & Miami-Dade NOA non-compliance
- Chapter 558 notice strategy & repair negotiations
- Full litigation when repairs or settlements are inadequate
High-Value Opportunity: South Florida’s post-2018 building surge created thousands of new defect cases. Associations, developers, and owners are winning significant recoveries.
Statutory Warranty & Chapter 558 Claims
Florida’s strong warranty laws. especially §718.203 for condominiums and Chapter 558 procedures. are powerful tools when used correctly.
- Developer, general contractor, subcontractor & supplier warranty claims
- Statutory implied warranties of fitness and merchantability
- Converted condominium reserve & warranty funding disputes
- Timely notice strategy to preserve rights (avoiding the statute-of-repose trap)
- Coordination with insurance carriers for overlapping coverage
Insurance Recovery & Bad Faith
Construction defects almost always trigger insurance issues. We help owners and associations maximize recovery.
- Property insurance claims for covered defects
- Builder’s risk & CGL policy analysis
- Bad faith claims against carriers who wrongfully deny or underpay
- Coordination between construction repair scope and insurance proceeds

Our licensed contractors and superintendents serve as expert witnesses and provide forensic analysis that wins cases.
- Detailed defect reports with photos, specs, and code citations
- Cost-to-repair estimates grounded in actual South Florida pricing
- Testimony on standard of care and what “should have been done”
- Hurricane & wind-load compliance analysis
- Delay claim quantification using critical-path method
Delay, Surety & Contract Disputes
Complex commercial claims where schedule, bonding, and contract enforcement decide the outcome.
- Construction contract disputes (retainage, change orders, termination)

- Delay & acceleration claims with critical-path support

The SpenceZeta Advantage
Why we win more
Most litigation support teams hire outside construction consultants. We are the construction consultants. and the builders.
01 · CONSTRUCTION DNA
Our litigators and analysts are the same people who hold the CGC and CCC licenses. We speak the language of subs, suppliers, and inspectors fluently.
02 · VERTICAL INTEGRATION
When a defect appears in a property we previously sold or built, we already have the as-builts, permit history, and project documentation. No discovery delays.
03 · REALISTIC SCOPES & COSTS
We don’t inflate or underestimate repair costs. Our estimates are battle-tested on actual jobs. making settlement demands credible and jury awards defensible.
04 · END-TO-END ACCOUNTABILITY
From the moment a defect is identified through final judgment or settlement, the same SpenceZeta team stays with you. No hand-offs to outside firms.
05 · SOUTH FLORIDA FOCUS
We know the exact buildings, the developers, the insurance carriers, and the judges who handle these cases in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Collier.
