Construction Legal

Construction Law

It involves the formation of agreements and disputes between the builder and property owner, covering a project that could run into several hundred thousand dollars.  Once you have selected the right contractor, the next step is to ensure a detailed and thorough contractor agreement that will help you avoid misunderstandings and problems.  If you need help, give us a call we can review your documentation to ensure you’re protected.
 

Hiring the Right Contractor

The best way to avoid problems with construction contractors is to be as clear as possible in your written agreements, keep an eye on what's happening without interfering, and keep communication open throughout the project.  We provide support in this area as consultants for property owners.
 
The most important way to protect yourself from problems in a construction project is to hire a competent and reputable contractor with whom you feel comfortable working.  Here are some tips:
  • Ask your friends, families, and colleagues to recommend contractors they know or have worked with successfully.
  • Try to get bids from at least 3 contractors, but be careful in the way you evaluate them. First, make sure you know what a bid covers and what it doesn't cover, and make sure all bids are covering the same things. Low prices may indicate low quality work or materials, so be careful.
  • Check to see that your contractor is licensed and insured.
