When working in the construction industry, it
is clear that contracts are the “other blueprint” that guides the work that you do. Contracts are nearly everywhere in the full range of businesses that engage in construction. You may be a general contractor, an architectural firm, an engineering firm, an electrician, plumber, welder, painter, roofer or in any of the other specialty businesses working in construction – all of these businesses operate with contracts on a daily basis. Knowledge of construction contract law is vital to both drafting viable contracts and engaging only those contracts which allow you to be successful. This is one of the ways that Contractor Counsel, with its expertise in understanding construction contract law, can bring you the guidance you need to enter contracts that work in your best interests.
