Contracts provide an indispensable foundation upon which contractors in the Austin area operate. When drafted well, contracts address many aspects of operations, from supplier agreements to establishing terms.
When contract disputes surface, your normal operations can suffer delays or interruptions that could seriously harm your business and your reputation. However, most people who operate a construction contracting business are not well-versed in construction law, including contract disputes.
Why do construction contract disputes occur?
There are many reasons that a contract dispute can occur. Sometimes, a party to the contract misinterpreted or did not read the contents of the document. Other times, miscommunications during the contract period can lead one party to believe that another party has violated the contract terms.
Regardless of the reason for a dispute, one thing is sure: You want to resolve the problem and return to your regular operations as quickly as possible. It’s essential to take immediate action in the face of a potentially harmful dispute.
Consider having an experienced attorney review your situation and advise you on the best course of action. Often, an attorney review can uncover details in your construction contracts that strengthen your side of the dispute. They can also help you improve your contracts and other legal documents so that you can prevent future problems from arising. Legal guidance is also a great way to speed your dispute resolution and lessen its harmful effects (such as loss of reputation and loss of customers).
