    I believe that AHPP-15th Edition advances that some states comply by statute of limitation (limit= 10 years from discovery of issue) and other states comply by statute of repose (limit = 6 years from potential claim discovery). Anyone could expand on AHPP's explanation?

    Gisele, Thanks for the response. Surfing the Web just found this: https://www.passtheare.com/statute-of-repose-vs-statute-of-limitations-on-the-are-5-0

    Hope it helps a little more.

    The explanation conveyed in the AHPP 15th Edition (Page 176) differs. For example, per the AHPP, Statute of Limitation is for negligence claims that could be filed 3 to 10 years after completion of the project. If the aggrieved party knew about the potential claim during construction, they would be able to commence litigation just before the statute of limitation expires.

    Also, per AHPP 15th edition, page 176, Statute of Limitation starts after substantial completion. Its time frame is 2 to 6 years after substantial completion. If a plaintiff knows about a potential claim at the time the project was substantially complete, they cannot commence litigation 2 years later.  All claims would be barred after 6 years.
