Allegations of systematic construction defects
A Building Justice report, supported by labor organizations, summarized a survey of 872 Pulte and Del Webb homeowners in Arizona, Nevada, and California. It reported that 63 percent of respondents described construction defects, creating negative publicity around quality and customer dissatisfaction. The cited material presents the report's allegations rather than a judicial finding that all reported defects were attributable to the company.
