Colorado construction claims generally are governed by a two year statute of limitations. This means a claim generally must be filed within two years after the claim for relief arises. A claim for relief arises when there is a “manifestation of a defect in the improvement [that] ultimately causes the injury” or is discoverable with the exercise of reasonable diligence. With some exceptions, the outside time limit for bringing a case against a construction professional is six years after the substantial completion of the improvement.
