Construction Law

Construction Disputes

Construction is a very litigious area of law in Colorado. However, many times simple disputes between a homeowner and contractor can be resolved in pre-suit negotiations. We are experienced in helping property owners and contractors alike work through the dispute to achieve a reasonable settlement, which can result in savings of thousands of dollars in attorney's fees for litigation. However, when negotiation and mediation fails, we are prepared to bring a lawsuit on your behalf and seek compensation for damages. Some of the most common lawsuits between contractors and property owners involve:

• design and construction defects
• defective workmanship and negligence
• unreasonable delays
• failure to provide project accounting and maintain accounts
• change order disputes
• failure to honor an express warranty
• project abandonment after receiving payment for work not performed
• contractor's failure to pay subcontractors
• invalid or fraudulent lien and mechanics' liens
• failure to understand a stipulated sum or lump sum contract

Construction Contracts – Review, Drafting, Negotiation

One of the best investments you can make is to have a lawyer review contracts before you enter into business relationships. If you have a construction contract or if you are considering hiring a contractor, please do not sign it or hire the contractor before having an attorney review. The cost of a contract review and consultation pales in comparison to the tens of thousands of dollars you will spend in attorney's fees and costs if and when a dispute arises. It is important to ensure any contracts you enter into are well-drafted and protect you to the maximum extent possible.

Mechanics' Liens

One of the most common disputes we receive calls about are conflicts between contractors and homeowners. This often leads to the homeowner threatening to not pay the contractor for work or the contractor threatening to record a mechanics' lien against the homeowner's property. Having a mechanics' lien on your property is a serious issue that needs to be resolved. Likewise, not being paid for providing improvements to someone's property is a serious issue affecting a contractor's livelihood. We represent both homeowners and contractors on these issues.
