700 Pulte Sun City Stucco Home Defects
Friday, 02 May 2008

Charleston attorneys urge individual Sun City stucco lawsuits
About 700 Sun City residents had wanted to join the couple's suit, with the aim of making it a class action case. But the four lawyers handling the case -- all construction defect specialists -- notified those homeowners Wednesday that the court won't handle their cases as a class action. So if the residents want to pursue claims for stucco problems, they'll have to file individual suits... Homeowners in Sun City communities near Las Vegas and Phoenix also have sued Pulte, claiming that stucco on their houses was improperly applied.

Thursday, 17 April 2008

1,000 homeowners taking legal action
Owners of about 1,000 homes in Sun City Grand, one of Surprise's most affluent retirement communities, are seeking legal action against developer Pulte Homes to correct alleged construction defects. The sheer number of participants puts this among the largest such complaints in Arizona history, building experts say. "The homeowners relied on Del Webb and the promises they would use quality-control measures in connection with the construction, and they're terribly disappointed," said attorney Ken Kasdan."What they see is Del Webb walking away from responsibility in the community."

Pulte Fails to Install Hurricane Clips
Friday, 28 September 2007

Builders Eliminate Hurricane Clips

Pulte Homes, Sun City issue gets quick attention
Sunday, 02 September 2007

County administrator acts quickly on trusses
I would like to thank Beaufort County administrator Gary Kubic for his quick and decisive work on the roof truss problems in Sun City Hilton Head. From the first call I made to him and through the repairs he required Pulte Homes to make to my home and several of my neighbors, he made himself accessible at all times. As for those who think that there are enough inspectors to check every single home before a certificate of occupancy is issued, you are living in a fantasy world. It's like expecting a police officer to be there the moment a crime occurs. It's not going to happen.

Pulte Homes: Question Continue on the Sun City Defective Roof
Sunday, 02 September 2007

Questions continue on truss inspections
When will the systemic failure be addressed that allowed houses with previously noted deficiencies to be granted occupancy permits without those deficiencies being corrected? When will the systemic failure that allowed Pulte Homes to stop installing hurricane clips on valley truss connections in Sun City houses be addressed?  Why is Beaufort County's building code enforcement office seemingly unaware hurricane clips have been an industry standard since the mid-1960s and that the industry has determined toe-nailed connections should not be used in a hurricane-prone area?
