Houston Construction Law Lawyer Commercial & Industrial

Construction projects are increasing in Houston and across the United States. Because of this, there is an increase of issues regarding whether a Sub or General Contractor is due money for the work they performed. From design build to total renovation projects, we can handle it.

When there is a dispute as to a pay application, some of the following questions must be answered:

  • Pay application not timely paid?
  • Not paid even when Schedule of Values show phase completion?
  • Lien the project legally? 
  • Change Orders approved or accepted?
  • Inspection green tagged by the city/county but subs not paid?
  • Bank inspector signed off on fund release, but you haven’t been paid?
  • Issues as to FFE modifications and payment? 
  • Was the retainage improperly used to pay another service provider?

When there is an uncertainty in the completion of the contract or work on a project, call us.

Many times, the contract was not properly negotiated or structured.  Even using an AIA Form contract, the supplemental provisions as to curing defects and hiring other subs to fix the work.
