Construction Contract Formation

Construction Contract Formation

The construction industry is ruled by contracts, contracts that define duties and obligations, apportion or assign risk and provide the mechanisims for dispute resolution and remedies for breach. Unless well drafted to protect your specific interests, these very same contracts can seriously jeopardize your ability to recover for delays, avoid liability, secure payment and enforce performance. We have decades of experience drafting and negotiating industry standard, governmental and custom construction documents. These include agreements promulgated by the American Institute of Architects (AIA), Consensus DOCS, and the Engineers Joint Contracts Documents Committee (EJCDC). Also, working in conjunction with our clients’ insurance agents, we help design project-specific insurance programs with requirements and flow down provisions that help mitigate insurable risk.
