Construction Law

Texas Construction Law Attorneys

You purchased the land on which you are preparing to build your dream home or commercial business. All of the architectural designs have been completed, the appropriate clearances have been made by the local governing boards, and your down payment on the construction project cleared without any issue. However, you soon realize that the builders, developers, contractors and subcontractors who have taken over your property are not diligent in their practice of professionalism or quality craftsmanship.

Maybe you have a different perspective. You are a contractor who is dedicated to the promise of providing the best possible product to your client, but the new supplier with whom you just signed a contract is always late in delivering materials. Or, maybe everything went smoothly and the construction project even finished ahead of schedule, but you have clients who are unwilling to pay the repeated invoices you have sent them.

While the attorneys at our firm hope that all of our business dealings will go smoothly, the unfortunate reality is that a state as big as Texas has plenty of land on which disputes can occur. And, when you encounter a problem involving construction or development, it is important that you have experienced legal representation to guide you through the process.

The attorneys at Bertolino LLP are ready to assist you with all possible issues related to construction law, including:

• Creation of construction contracts

• Breach of contract

• Construction defect claims

• Payment disputes

• Labor inefficiency

• Quality of labor or materials

• Mechanic's lien foreclosures

With Construction law and litigation, you need a lawyer who is familiar with the expected industry and performance standards, so that the liability for contractors and other professionals is clear. You will need a Construction law attorney who knows the requirements and filing deadlines in Texas for the lien and bond perfection scheme, as the laws in our state are unique and complex. You will also need a lawyer who is comfortable defending your work and your reputation in front of organizations such as the Texas Board of Architectural Examiners, the Texas Board of Professional Engineers, the State Office of Administrative Hearings, and other state agencies that contract with private companies for building purposes.
