Modern building construction is much more than pouring concrete and hammering nails. From design to completion, all but the smallest projects involve lenders, architects, engineers, construction managers or general contractors, sub-contractors, material suppliers, and labourers. To minimize the likelihood of disputes, DJW drafts and reviews construction contracts as necessary for all of the players, but particularly for owners, developers and contractors. The DJW team assists clients in all of these areas.
Unfortunately, even with the best contracts, disputes can, and do, arise. We have experience in successfully handling construction lien claims, set-off claims, delay claims, and deficiency claims. When any of these arise, DJW steps in to protect our client’s interest.
We represent building owners, developers, architects and land development consultants, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and labour and material suppliers. DJW is experienced in all forms of dispute resolution, from mediation through arbitration to litigation. We provide our clients with practical advice to achieve the best result possible, efficiently and in a cost effective manner.
