In Arizona, contractors are liable for their work for up to eight years from the project's completion date. The statute of limitations for filing a claim against a contractor in Arizona is two years from the discovery of the defect.
Every such contract requires: The name of the contractor, the contractor's business address and license number. The name and mailing address of the owner and the jobsite address or legal description. The date the parties entered into the contract.
The primary cause of action used in residential construction defect cases is a breach of the implied warranty of habitability. This cause of action allows a homeowner to sue the builder or vendor for construction defects for up to eight years (nine years if the defect is found in the eighth year).

In Georgia, the statute of repose is eight years for all claims related to design or construction of the building.
