In the recent Colorado Court of Appeals decision Stoecklein v. Fayette Farms, LLC (2024 WL 5098330), the Court addressed critical issues surrounding construction defect claims, statutes of limitations, and the interplay between the Colorado Consumer Protection Act (“CCPA”) and the Construction Defect Action Reform Act (“CDARA”). This case underscores the importance of understanding the statutory framework governing construction defect litigation and highlights the complexities of determining when claims accrue under Colorado law.

Background of the Case
Lindsey and Chance Stoecklein entered into a contract with Redline Construction Corporation for the construction of a manufactured home. Redline subsequently assigned its responsibilities to High Country Construction & Development, LLC, which then subcontracted Fayette Farms, LLC, to install the home.
