Our firm can advise and assist you in all facets of your construction project as it relates to both corporate clients and our Emergency Services District clients. These projects range from single-family residences to multi-million dollar fire stations and commercial buildings. Once the need to build has been identified, we guide our clients as they seek out, negotiate and purchase a tract of land including all title work and review. We next work with the engineers, surveyors and environmental experts to develop a site layout. After that, we assist the client in contracting with the architect or project manager and hiring a general contractor. While the project progresses, we assist clients in resolving claims and disputes throughout the process and even after completion. Should issues arise, we are able to resolve claims through arbitration or trial, as needed.

This includes legal representation as you bid your projects or seek financing, including tax-exempt public bond financing, if appropriate. Additionally, on many occasions we have sought public bid proposals for fire departments and can help you with similar type projects. Our pre-construction experience includes:

  • Preparation of architect contracts
  • Handling of sealed bidding proposals including public contracts bids
  • Preparation of construction documents
  • Reviewing and approving financing proposals for buildings and equipment
  • Making sure all required bonding requirements are met especially for public projects

Construction and Post-Construction Disputes

We will not abandon you once the project starts. It is not unusual for our attorneys to be involved during the project as well. We have provided services to address:

  • Architectural design errors
  • Construction defects and contract disputes
  • Lien filing and lien release challenges
  • Claims under performance bonds

From the start of a project through final completion and occupancy, we represent our clients in all aspects of their residential, commercial and public construction projects. Whether you are a developer, homebuilder, owner or the general contractor we can assist to make your project run more smoothly.
