Construction Disputes

The forum matters. So does the strategy.

Construction disputes can be resolved through negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or litigation. The right path depends on the contract, claim type, project documents, amount in dispute, urgency, deadlines, and the need for court relief.

This section covers Construction Litigation and Construction Arbitration and Mediation. Many disputes begin with lien, bond, contract, defect, or delay issues, but the dispute resolution method determines how the claim is presented and resolved.

A contract may require arbitration instead of court. A lien foreclosure may require court litigation. A Chapter 558 defect claim may require pre-suit procedures before litigation. A payment bond claim may involve statutory deadlines and surety participation.
