You need to consult with an attorney about your individual situation. There are different actions where a builder is concerned and some may depend on whether you purchased it directly from the builder. There are claims under an implied warranty which one might have 3 years to bring from the date of discovery. On the other hand, it may be possible to waive the implied warranty if one entered into a binding agreement that excluded its application.
Another claim against a Builder is negligent construction.
Either way, if you feel you have an issue with a builder, you should consult with an attorney in your area.
