Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should be included in a construction contract?

    A construction contract should cover key aspects such as scope of work, project timeline, payment terms, dispute resolution procedures, and warranties. Clear terms help prevent misunderstandings or disputes.




  • What happens if a contractor doesn’t meet the agreed-upon deadlines?

    If a contractor fails to meet deadlines outlined in the contract, the project owner may be entitled to remedies, such as financial penalties or damages. Contracts often include provisions for delays to handle such situations.





  • How do construction liens work?

    A construction lien is a legal claim against a property for unpaid work or materials. Contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers can file liens to secure payment, but must follow specific legal procedures to do so.





  • Can a construction contract be changed after it's signed?

    Yes, but any changes must be agreed upon by all parties and documented through a written amendment or change order. This ensures transparency and prevents disputes over the scope of work or costs.
