Construction work requires numerous moving 
parts, all of which depend upon proper sequencing in order to maintain a workable timeline. The work being done on a construction project normally involves multiple companies, each performing a particular aspect of the project, with typically a general contractor with the responsibility of bringing the project in on time, on budget and to the satisfaction of the project's ownership. Managing all of this is complex and requires a great deal of experience to be successful.
Whether you are a general contractor, home builder, or a subcontractor providing architectural work, engineering, electrical work, plumbing, painting, welding, roofing or any of the other sub-specialties in construction, you understand what it takes to successfully complete a project. You also know that it is nearly inevitable that conflicts arise that put the timeline at risk. Time is money, clarifying the critical value of construction dispute resolution skill. Work stoppage erodes your relationship with others on the project and immediately starts to eat away at your profit on a job.
Guidance to accomplish construction dispute resolution is essential to your success and helps to protect the reputation of your business and interests going forward. No business wants to be “that company” that caused or was impacted by a work stoppage at a job site. Texas construction law is complicated, as is Texas contract law.
