Litigating Over Construction Defects and Performance
Disputes often arise over whether a construction contractor has performed the work contracted for or done the work to the appropriate standard.
We represent both property owners and construction contractors in disputes over construction defects and performance issues.
Failure to complete a construction project can seriously harm a family seeking to move into their home or a business planning their opening around an expected completion date. Construction defects can cause serious damage to the property, such as water intrusion (eventually leading to mold or even collapse), roof defects and code violations.
On the other hand, some delays and withdrawals from a project are unavoidable due to external factors (such as extended periods of inclement weather), and some property damage is caused by other factors or is not the fault of the contractor.
Effectively Handling Payment and Lien Disputes
It is common for construction defects or delays to lead to disputes over payment. Florida law actually gives contractors the right to place liens on property where they have done work and not been paid. On the other hand, property owners can fight construction liens that have been placed illegitimately on their property.
Attorney Clinton Paris can help contractors assert construction liens on property, and he represents both contractors and property owners in disputes over liens. Contact us to discuss your concerns with an experienced construction lawyer.
