What Are Construction Disputes?

A construction project involves a lot of moving parts. Anything affecting these pieces can result in a disagreement. In other words, a construction dispute can arise at any phase of a construction project. Some matters might involve two entities in conflict, whereas others may be between members of the construction company.

Parties may turn to a construction litigation lawyer in Grand Rapids for help resolving matters such as:

Changes in building plans
Non repayment of debts
Bond disputes, and
Job site injuries.

Resolving Construction Issues Through Alternative Dispute Resolution

Litigating a construction dispute can take quite a bit of time. A lot is involved in taking a matter to trial. Waiting for a trial date and for the judge or jury to decide after hearing all the evidence can add more stress to an already frustrating situation. That is why our team initially seeks to resolve these cases through alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation or arbitration.

When you hire our team of Grand Rapids construction litigation attorneys, our focus will remain on protecting your best interests. At the same time, we will be open to hearing the other party’s claims to see if common ground will allow an amicable resolution. By doing this, we can help you maintain your professional relationships and move forward with the project.

Construction Lien Enforcement

Unfortunately, it might be the case that the property owner does not pay for the construction services. However, that does not necessarily mean you will be out of the money you are owed. The Construction Lien Act in Michigan provides contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers a lien on the improved property.

At Willis Law, we can help you file a claim under the Construction Lien Act. We will explain the process, claim requirements, and your rights. Additionally, we can ensure that all necessary paperwork is timely submitted.
