Construction Law in Irvine

Say you’re a business owner and you’ve just hired an architect and a general contractor to begin building your new business. While this is undoubtedly an exciting time, the complex nature of this project leaves room for numerous issues to come into play. Your contractor might realize he underbid on the costs of the project. Or, the architect might realize that he made a mistake in the drafted plans after the construction had already begun. Even worse, an accident, injury, or wrongful death might occur on the construction site, and there’s always a possibility that someone might quit in the middle of the construction project. Or, a party involved might change his or her mind on the plan in action. As a result, arguments arise.
Here at Crafts Law Firm, we are skilled and knowledgeable in the complex nature of California’s construction law. Construction law is a branch of law that deals with issues in construction, building, engineering, and other related fields. It mainly involves contract law and covers all aspects of the legal process. This includes everything from the initial bidding, to negotiations and formations of agreements and contracts.

The same types of issues commonly found in commercial construction can also come into play in residential construction. Disputes may arise between homeowners and builders, as well as between the architects and general contractors involved in the project. As a rule, contractors must warn homeowners if the design or construction of the home may have damaging results, and homeowners have an obligation to cooperate with contractors and not interfere or delay the contractor’s performance without good reason. Again, the complex nature of this type of construction leaves room for problems. If an issue does arise, construction law comes into play.

Whether commercial or residential, construction law assures that you are not held accountable for any issues that arise during the construction project. Ideally, a construction dispute will be handled through negotiation or mediation. If the issue cannot be resolved in this way, it will head to court.

Here at Crafts Law Firm, we are experienced in litigation involving:

Construction defects and product defects litigation
Construction site accidents – serious injury and wrongful death
Construction contracts and mechanics liens/payment issues
Our attorneys have represented a variety of clients in the cases of construction law, including general contractors, subcontractors, material men, tradesmen and others in both residential and commercial construction lawsuits.
