Using a Deep Understanding of Construction Law to Resolve Disputes

Considering the massive scale and cost of most construction projects, getting every detail right from start to finish is imperative.

What Are Some Common Construction Disputes?

We’ve spent years handling the legal aspects of disputes within the construction industry. During that time, we’ve noticed that certain construction disputes occur more frequently than others, including the following:

• Project delays that set back completion of the project by months or years
• Payment delays or refusal to pay at all
• Poor working conditions
• Changes to the costs of materials, resulting in cost overruns
• Designs that are of poor quality
• Poor workmanship on the part of contractors
• Mismanagement on the part of general contractors or construction managers

What Legal Services Do We Provide Clients in Vancouver?

We’ve successfully handled a variety of construction claims, so you can trust that your case is in capable hands from the start. During your initial consultation, we’ll work toward developing a deep understanding of your construction dispute before recommending a solution for it.

For example, if you believe the other party broke one or more contract terms, we’ll review your documentation to pinpoint the breach of contract first. Then, we’ll let you know your legal options, which typically begin by contacting the at-fault party to discuss the problem and settle on a solution. This intervention might involve mediation and arbitration to negotiate a resolution outside of court.

If you can’t come to an agreement through an extensive mediation or arbitration process, litigation in the courtroom may be necessary. You can count on us to passionately argue your case in court on your behalf, as well as use practical legal actions, such as placing a builders’ lien against the party that hasn’t paid for construction work. You have rights, and we’ll use our knowledge of construction law to protect them. Call our Vancouver construction law firm to begin your case.

Why Do You Need a Lawyer with a Deep Understanding of the Construction Industry?

If you’re having a construction dispute, you need legal advice from an experienced construction lawyer. Most construction projects are too costly and important to handle alone when complications occur. Furthermore, not every lawyer can successfully represent clients in construction claims. This type of case requires a lawyer with vast knowledge of the construction industry.

After all, this field uses terms and phrases that only people who have worked in it would understand, so the construction lawyers you hire should have expertise within this dynamic industry. Otherwise, they could misinterpret the language within your construction contracts and other documents describing your project.

Skilled construction lawyers must also know how to use legal actions unique to this field, such as builders’ liens. While this option can be an effective way to collect payment, strict laws govern who can use it and when. Experienced construction lawyers in British Columbia know how to help clients request builders’ liens from owners and enforce them to get payment. At our Vancouver construction law firm, we understand how to use the builders’ lien and other legal strategies to assist clients with claims, so contact us today.
