Construction disputes are rarely resolved by one document alone. Instead, they are resolved by carefully reconstructing what happened, when it happened, what the parties agreed to, and what the evidence shows.
Whether you are pursuing a claim against a contractor or defending against one, the first step is assembling the facts before deciding on the strategy.
Every construction dispute is different. The first step is understanding the facts, evaluating the available evidence, and determining the most effective path toward resolving the dispute.

Paid Your Contractor but the Job Went Wrong?
Construction projects do not always go as planned. Sometimes the work is left unfinished. Sometimes the quality of the work is disputed. In other cases, the contractor abandons the project, demands payment for unauthorized change orders, or records a claim of lien despite disagreements over the work performed.
When Construction Projects Go Wrong
Common homeowner construction disputes include:
-

Every construction dispute has a story. The first step is understanding what happened, what can be proven, and the most effective way to protect your interests.
Building Your Case
The outcome of these cases often depends on the quality of the evidence. One of the most important things a homeowner can do is preserve the documents and communications relating to the project.
Helpful evidence includes:
-
Photographs and videos documenting the condition of the work
-
Text messages
-
Emails
-
Written contracts and change orders
