The Utah Measure of Damages for Defective Improvements is a set of standards used to calculate the amount of money a homeowner is owed for property damage resulting from faulty improvements made to their home. This includes damages resulting from faulty construction, design, materials, and workmanship. The Utah Measure of Damages for Defective Improvements is broken down into three main categories; diminution of value, repair costs, and consequential damages. Diminution of value is the amount of money the property has lost in value due to the faulty improvements. Repair costs are the costs to repair the faulty improvements. Consequential damages are the additional losses suffered as a result of the faulty improvements, such as the costs of temporary lodging or time spent dealing with the repair.
