Residential and Commercial Construction Contracts
A well-written and detailed contract is the best way to avoid a dispute during, and after, residential construction. See how we can help mitigate risk.
Many property owners, general contractors, and subcontractors beginning a residential construction project wrongly believe that the quality of their relationship with each other is more important than a well written contract when a question or dispute arises during construction.
No one starts a residential construction project working with someone that they don’t like or trust or on a project that they do not believe will run smoothly.
The odds are good that no matter how good the relationships are at the start of the project, disputes and disagreements will occur during construction. How those disputes and disagreements impact the project will largely depend on the quality of the contract the parties are working under.
A well written construction contract will bring clarity to your residential construction project, it will define, among other things, what is to be built as part of the project, who will build it, how much the project will cost, the materials to be used, the quality of those materials, the time it will take to complete the project, what changes can be made to the project during construction and how those changes are to be documented, when payments are to be made, and how disputes are to be resolved.
Whether we draft the residential construction contract for our client, or it is drafted by another, our clients rely on us to ensure that every contract covering one of their residential construction projects is clear, understandable, and complete.
We then counsel and support our clients as needed throughout construction to ensure that their project moves forward smoothly.
