San Antonio Construction Law Lawyers | Commercial & Industrial

With construction booming across the United States, San Antonio is no exception. From design build projects to total renovation, we help with issues that arise relating to whether a Subcontractor or General Contractor is owed money for the work that was performed.

Resolving Payment Disputes in Construction Projects

When payment disputes arise in construction projects, answering key questions can help determine the best legal approach:

Were change orders properly approved and documented?
Did the project pass city or county inspections, but subcontractors remain unpaid?
Was the retainage misapplied to pay another provider instead of being rightfully disbursed?
Has the bank inspector approved a fund release, but payment has not been received?
Was the pay application submitted on time but still not processed?
Did the Schedule of Values indicate phase completion, yet payment was withheld?
Are there disputes regarding modifications to furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE) affecting payment?
Is there a legal basis to file a lien on the project?

Unclear contract terms or disputes over project completion can create financial risks. If you’re facing uncertainty in payments or contract execution, our legal team is ready to help.

Many disputes arise from improperly negotiated or structured contracts. Even standard AIA Form contracts require careful review to ensure supplemental provisions address defect corrections and subcontractor replacements. Our experienced attorneys can assist in strengthening your contracts and protecting your financial interests. Contact us today for strategic legal support.
