CONSTRUCTION DISPUTES

BuildLaw’s multidisciplinary construction law team represents owners (public and private), developers, investors, prime contractors, subcontractors, material and equipment suppliers, engineering and design firms, construction managers, and other clients in virtually all aspects of construction law.  Success in complex construction disputes demands an all-hands approach supported by decades of experience in the field. 

Our team draws upon its knowledge and deep understanding of construction to provide the highest quality representation to our clients. Our decades of experience include handling construction related claims and disputes, in forums including mediation, arbitration, and litigation.   

BuildLaw lawyers have significant experience with issues that typically arise in construction disputes, including delay and disruption issues and defects and claims for extra work.  We have handled claims involving sophisticated analysis of land use issues, eminent domain, licensure, lien issues, bid disputes, commercial “divorces,” noncompetition issues, lease disputes, and more.    

BuildLaw attorneys can help clients calculate damages such as lost profits and unallocated home office overhead, using Eichleay and similar formulas.  We have handled disputes involving incomplete and defective design, issues with project management, change orders, impossibility, site conditions, denial of site access, disputes regarding materials and equipment, failures of structural elements, safety violations, nonconforming work, terminations, liens, payment and performance bonds (including federal Miller Act and state Little Miller Act bonds), and post-completion issues.
