Construction Litigation Services

Construction claims between Owners, Contractors, Subcontractors and Vendors arise principally from differences over Budget, Schedule, Quality, Change Orders, and Construction Agreements.

• Was the project constructed for the contract price plus approved changes?

• Was the project completed within the scheduled time period plus excusable delays?

• Do the project’s materials and workmanship comply with the plans, specifications, contractual agreements and approved substitutions?

• Were Change Orders approved prior to execution?

• How should contract terms and conditions be interpreted?
