Problems on a job site, or a contractor dispute between a customer and contractor, or between the general contractor and a sub-contractor are expensive distractions that can quickly derail progress on a project, and reduce the profit for every party involved.  A dispute between contractors quickly becomes a distraction to the parties involved and can spread to all contractors on a site.  Work slows, or stops altogether as the workers focus on the dispute instead of the job at hand.  Resolving a contractor dispute quickly and cost-effectively ensures that everyone on the job site is focused on the successful completion of a project and their contribution to that goal.

The attorneys at the Watkins Firm have decades of experience in resolving construction disputes, and helping to negotiate a solution that keeps the parties focused on the job at hand while preserving as much of the associated profit as possible.  Construction contracts are very competitive in today’s business environment, and the margins are getting more and more challenging to maintain.  Contractors must have strong contracts that clearly establish the work to be performed, the quality of craftsmanship and materials to be used, the cost for the work and the timeframe for completion.  They should clearly define draws and payments along the way and anticipate any problems that might arise while providing structure for how disputes will be quickly and efficiently resolved.
