Disputes Between Sub-Contractors on a Job Site

Disputes Between Sub-Contractors on a Job Site

Construction sites are a complex series of contracts and business relationships, and disputes between sub-contractors on a job site can affect the production and profitability of everyone on the job site.  Resolving disagreements between a general contractor and a sub-contractor, or between the project owner and the general contractor is critical to ensuring that the job remains on schedule and on budget.  When a dispute arises, there can be principled disagreement about who is at fault, and who will be responsible for any resulting monetary impact.

The experienced construction and contract attorneys at the Watkins Firm have worked with contractors and construction related disputes for decades. We understand the relationships involved, the cooperative relationship between the individual contractors and the nature of the work being performed.  We help to maintain and foster a productive, cooperative working relationship while we negotiate a resolution that meets the goals of our client.

We work to preserve relationships with sub-contractors or other companies with whom you may have done business in the past, and who usually do good work.  In some cases, an accident has arisen on the job site, and its simply a matter of resolving who is responsible and how draws or payments may be affected.  Poor workmanship is another common issue in these cases, and the underlying contracts will go a long way to determine the ease with which the dispute is resolved, as well as the expense of the delay.

Disputes between sub-contractors on a job site cost everyone time and money.  If you are involved in a construction related disagreement we invite you to contact the Watkins Firm or call for a free and substantial consultation at 858-535-1511.
