Construction Defect Guidance from a Licensed Contractor and Construction Attorney

Defective construction can quickly turn a renovation, custom home, or commercial project into a costly dispute. Cartlidge Construction LLC provides defective construction consulting for homeowners, property owners, contractors, and attorneys throughout Palm Beach County and South Florida.

Built on Real Construction and Legal Experience

Many construction problems are not just legal issues and not just construction issues. They are both.

Cartlidge Construction LLC is led by Richard Cartlidge, a licensed Florida general contractor and board-certified construction attorney. That background allows us to evaluate defective work with an understanding of industry standards, project documentation, contractor obligations, and real-world repair considerations.
