Overview
Our construction lawyers regularly represent owners in many types of construction projects from hospitals to homes and multi-family to multi-use. Typically, owners are the least experienced participant in a construction project and the most in need of assistance. Contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals all make their living in the construction industry. An average owner participates in construction projects occasionally at most. They are confronted with "standard" contracts that are anything but familiar to them. They must decide on delivery systems and make many other decisions with little practical knowledge of the impact of these decisions.
Perhaps no participant in the construction project can benefit more from quality legal representation than an owner.
Our construction lawyers can provide help to owners from the time that the project is just an idea. We can help draft design contracts with the architect or engineer, construction contracts with contractors, and advise on the proper delivery system best suited for the owner's project. We are also involved with owners through the duration of the project with handling claims, liens, insolvency of contractors or subcontractors, or any of the many other issues that can arise in a project. We are also with you through project close out. We are also there for you through post project litigation, in the unfortunate event that arises.
Our owner-related projects include:
- Office buildings
- Retail space
- Hospitals
- Nursing homes
- Retirement homes
- Medical office buildings
- Ambulatory surgery centers
- Industrial facilities
- Manufacturing plants
- Condominiums
- Apartment buildings
- Dormitories
- Office upfits and
- Multi-use buildings.
The value of these projects well exceeds $1 billion dollars. We can help with your project too.
