Proven Texas construction lawyers handle crucial details
The life’s blood of the construction trade is the contract. For any key player to get the full benefit of their bargain, they must have a clear and unambiguous contract that articulates their rights and obligations. When contract terms are vague and open to interpretation, you can’t be sure what you’re going to get and may not be able to enforce your right to the performance you expected. Our firm’s attorneys have extensive experience negotiating and drafting construction contracts, in a range of real estate scenarios, so there’s never doubt about material matters or even fine details, such as:
- Scope of services
- Quality of materials
- Observation of pertinent building codes
- Safety standards
- Costs
- Deadlines
- Liquidated damages
- Finance structure
- Payment schedule
- Workmanship guarantees
- Insurance
- Liability and waivers
When you have a specific, detailed contract, you have an instrument you can enforce. Such a contract provides incentives for all participants to perform as expected, reducing the potential for a breach. If a breach of contract does occur, you have the leverage you need to obtain a timely and effective remedy.
Even before you place a bid on a project, you have to have a clear sense of the contract you will be entering. That’s why it’s important to seek and receive reliable legal advice early and often.

Unfortunately, anyone who engages in the construction trade runs the risk of a breach of contract.
