What Experience Do You Have?

The attorneys at St. Johns Law Group routinely assist clients with construction contract drafting, review and negotiation.  Our construction attorneys can draw upon a wealth of knowledge, including a foundation of drafting agreements for builders and developers ranging from vacant land contracts to residential home construction agreements and even complex commercial contracts for the development of office buildings.  

Whether preparing the initial contract or bid document or evaluating a construction schedule for delay damages, our attorneys have the experience.

Contract Interpretation or Negotiation?

Our attorneys assist clients with understanding the meaning of existing contracts and significant legal issues that can impact a construction project. Issues such a “pay when paid” or “pay if paid” can be covered in the construction contract documents to make sure the parties know their rights and later confusion is avoided. 

If you have a dispute with a homeowner or builder during the construction process, we can review the contract documents and assist with negotiating a resolution to the matter with, perhaps, a change order, deduction, or other amendment.
