Defects in apartment complex impose a significant social and economic burden. Improving this situation requires effort and a change in attitude throughout the construction industry, particularly from project owners and contractors. This study used cases of apartment defect litigation to investigate whether there were differences in repair costs based on various influence factors, using a t-test. The factors examined in previous research included the type of project owner, whether the developer was also the general contractor, whether a single prime contract was used, the project's area and urban location, the elapsed time since completion, and whether a defect repair agreement was reached. The results confirmed that there were differences in defect repair costs depending on whether the project owner was also the general contractor, the elapsed time since completion (based on a 5-year period), and whether a defect repair settlement was agreed upon. To reduce defects and restore consumer trust in apartment construction projects, it can be a crucial strategy for project owners to strengthen their capabilities as general contractors and diligently carry out defect repairs.
