Construction projects can be complicated because there are so many different aspects to oversee. During a project, you and your employees are occupied with creating a plan, ensuring things are moving according to schedule, coordinating materials purchases and staying on budget. With all of this going on, you certainly don’t need to add legal matters such as breach of contract, insurance disputes or mechanic’s liens to the mix. But navigating building codes, city and county ordinances, and state and federal contract laws is part of the business of construction — and it can be costly if you don’t know the law.
To set up a consultation with an experienced construction law attorney, call 937-339-0511 or contact us via email. With offices in Troy, we advise and represent clients throughout Ohio. The attorneys at Dungan & LeFevre who handle construction matters are Steven Justice, James Brookshire, Michael Rieman and Michael Scarpelli.
Legal Pitfalls In The Construction Industry
Fortunately, Dungan & LeFevre’s Civil Litigation Practice Group knows the laws and can help you navigate them. Our attorneys will counsel business owners, contractors, design-builders, subcontractors and material suppliers with respect to construction-related claims, including but not limited to:
- Bidding and bid protests
- Breach of contract
- Mechanics’ liens
- Insurance and bonds
- Compliance with regulations associated with government-funded projects.
Government contracts can be particularly tricky because the laws are constantly changing. However, our attorneys remain constantly up to date on current construction and contract law so they can help ensure you comply with all regulations. Another reason government contracts can be tricky: the specifications of the jobs require very close attention to detail. Our attorneys will help you comb through the proposal and contract language to ensure you submit your best proposals and fulfill your contracts to the letter of the law.
