Construction Contracts

Settling Construction Contract Disputes

You should be able to enforce the terms of a construction contract. Your contract should clearly define the parties' obligations and responsibilities. When a party to a contract fails to abide by its terms, they should be forced to comply with the agreement, and held accountable for any damages caused by their breach of the contract.

At the Law Office of Kenneth D. Morse, our attorney has represented developers, contractors and subcontractors in contract disputes and litigation in Orlando and throughout Central, Florida, for over 34 years.

Types of Construction Contract Disputes

With thirty four years of experience, lawyer Kenneth Morse has handled a variety of construction contract disputes. Some of the common issues our firm has dealt with include:

• Problems associated with water, mold, or mildew
• Failure to follow plans and specifications
• Foundations that crack and other building problems
• Construction defects and workmanship concerns
• Cases alleging fraud or misrepresentation
• Improper installation of products
• Delay in performance

Construction Contract Defense

When you are alleged to have violated a construction contract, you need an attorney to put forward a credible and effective defense. Construction plans change, material shortages occur, and weather patterns become a problem. There are certain things that can constitute a defense, including:

• The quality of the materials installed were specified
• The owner of the project approved the installation of materials which differed from the specified materials
• Modifications to the contract, though not in writing, were made verbally and reasonably relied upon and approved
• Stoppages of work due to non-payment
