Construction Law is a legal, problem solving approach to construction and real estate development issues focusing on loss prevention and maximization of profits. Construction law includes improvements of all sizes and complexity from basic, residential work, to enormous, complex projects, city planning, and mass transportation. Construction law cuts across a broad spectrum of laws, but is closely related with many of the traditionally recognized principals and doctrines of the law, including: real property, contracts, torts, business organizations, labor, and tax law. There are a myriad of issues involved in construction law, including contract disputes, general contractor and subcontractor issues, substantial performance issues, arbitration, insurance, payment disputes, risk management and mechanical liens. There are also several laws governing the bidding process. When writing a construction contract, it is important to remember a central principle to contract law - terms of a contract will be construed against the drafter of the contract. Thus, any ambiguities or uncertainties will be resolved against the writer of the contract. Construction lawyers represent contractors, architects and engineers on injury claims associated with construction as well as issues involving building design. |
