Misunderstandings and Disputes

Construction disputes can occur in any building project. The more parties involved the more opportunities there are for miscommunication. Unexpected expenses. Supply problems. Labor issues. Weather. Earthquake. Anything that hasn’t been addressed in the construction contracts will inevitably lead to misunderstandings and disputes.

It is, of course, in everyone’s best interests to settle disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Sometimes the parties can work it out. Most times they can’t – there are too many intangibles, personalities, and emotions that get in the way. Conflicting contract clauses and/or gray areas that the parties interpret differently will lead to an impasse.

The Hahn Law Group APC knows the construction industry. We’ve seen it all. We appreciate that things can go wrong. We understand that construction disputes should be settled fairly and as soon as possible.

Construction Disputes

Construction disputes can occur before, during, and after a construction project. They can involve the builder and the property owner. Builder and contractor. Contractor and subcontractor. Subcontractor and supplier. There are, in fact, any number of combinations that can end in a dispute.

Sometimes, due to the complexity of the project, the dispute is really with a different party than the one you initially confront.

Some examples of construction disputes:

  • Payments
  • Insurance coverages
  • Surety matters
  • Construction claims
  • Bonds
  • Scope of work
  • Changed orders
  • Delays
  • Disruptions
  • Accounting
  • Costs
  • Defective
  • Failure to disclose

Every moment of a construction dispute increases costs, strains relationships, and threatens to sever business relationships.
