The construction field is a dynamic industry that requires careful litigation and in-depth understanding of legal matters. For example, before a construction project can even be launched, a contract must be established. This document must outline the tasks, contributions, and deadlines of each participating party. Everyone involved in a construction project must review and sign such contract.  At Warner, Sechrest & Butts, P.A., our construction law attorneys have backgrounds in business accounting and contract litigation. They are able to recognize inconspicuous flaws in contracts, understand large numerical figures, and ensure that clients are protected by construction laws and labor laws.

Along with contracts, legal issues can arise with any number of federal, state, and local-level laws and/or ordinances. Federal laws governing workplace safety and employment can impact worksites and hiring practices. State laws may dictate safety and environmental standards. Then, the city and county where the construction project occurs often have additional regulations for zoning and construction site noise levels. Construction projects fall under one of three categories: building (residential and non-residential), infrastructure (roadways, highways, bridges, etc.), and industrial. When a dispute arises, it’s usually between two or more of the following: owner(s), contractor(s), subcontractor(s), and/or government depending on the project at hand.

Throughout the years, our construction law firm in Florida has concentrated on construction law in order to offer our clients greater value and higher quality representation.
