The statute of limitations for construction defect claims in Illinois is four years. This means that a homeowner has four years from the date they discover a construction defect to file a lawsuit against the builder. The statute of repose is a different type of deadline that applies to construction defect claims.
These also vary by state. In California, the statute of repose is four years for most defects, but 10 years for latent defects (those that aren't observable right away, such as a faulty foundation). In Georgia, the statute of repose is eight years for all claims related to design or construction of the building.
