Construction Litigation

Wrepresent owners, developers, contractors, suppliers, architects and engineers in all aspects of the construction process throughout North and Central Florida. Examples of a few of the construction law areas we assist our clients with are:

Construction Liens

The construction lien process provides the best protection to both contractors and owners to ensure that contractors are paid for their work and that owners only pay once for that work. However, the Florida lien law is very complex and is strictly construed, which if not precisely complied with will result in the permanent waiver of the rights and protections provided by the lien law. We assist our clients in complying with the lien law during all phases of the project, and should a dispute arise, enforcing their lien rights.

Construction Defects

Defects in one aspect of construction can be devastating to the entire project because over time that defect can negatively impact other parts of the structure exacerbating your loss. Deviations from the plans and specifications may cause not only cosmetic deficiencies, but also potential health and safety concerns that should promptly resolved. When our clients are faced with defects in their construction projects we offer candid advice on the impact of the defect on the project in order to facilitate a satisfactory resolution, but when necessary will engage the litigation and arbitration process to protect our clients' rights.

Delay Claims

Delays in performance causes significant problems on construction projects ranging from scheduling conflicts, increased carrying costs to lost profits. When our clients are faced with delay issues we will thoroughly analyze the cause of the delay, each parties obligations under the contract and the delay's impact on the project in an effort to quickly resolve the issue and get the project back on schedule.
