The Watkins Firm has extensive experience representing General Contractors and Sub-Contractors in job site disputes.  There are several reasons why disputes may arise between contractors.  A job site is a well practiced orchestra – each one doing their part to contribute to the completion of the job in concert with others.  When one contractor falls behind, or does not meet the quality standards associated with the job site and project at hand it can slow down or stop all other associated work.  Slow work or poor workmanship can have an impact on completion time frames, hours worked and scheduled crews who are unable to complete their portion of the job.

Changes are very common in most construction projects.  However, changes can lead to disputes as differing contractors attempt to manage cost implications and scheduling conflicts.  Workplace accidents may also cause damage to another contractor’s work, resulting in a dispute over who is responsible and the amount of the damages.

Disputes on a job site destroy the rhythm of a project, and disrupt the completion of quality work.  Most importantly, the relationship between the general contractor and their sub-contractors most often goes far deeper than a single project.  The construction dispute attorneys at the Watkins Firm have decades of experience working with contractors and job site issues.  We understand the relationships between general contractors and their subs, and the years of hard work between the parties that may be at risk as a result of the dispute.  We work to resolve not only the issues of the dispute at hand, but the relationships underneath.  We quickly build a constructive and productive atmosphere for negotiation – the fastest and least expensive strategy to resolve disputes with sub-contractors on a job site and move forward.
