Homeowners
If are considering to begin or if you have begun a construction project, you may be confused by the complexity of the construction laws, lien rights, contracts, architectural plans, specifications, change orders and the various documents and statutes applicable to your construction project. Florida law provides homeowners with precautionary measures; however, if the process is not administered properly, you may be left powerless.
Construction projects can be broken into three fundamental categories: i) costs, ii) schedule, and iii) quality; optimization of these three categories is the goal of sound project management. Serious quality issues; escalating and uncertain costs; and a delayed schedule may force untimely project completion and budget dilemmas. Our construction litigation department is led by Attorney Michael J. McCabe, an experienced construction attorney with an engineering degree and seven years of engineering experience specifically related to construction.
Attorneys at McCabe & Vaughn, P.A. have the in-depth understanding of the nuances of Florida law necessary to optimize your construction project. We are here to help you minimize risk, lower costs, and increase efficiency while managing your project in the pre-construction and construction phases. Without experienced counsel, you may face many conflicts and struggles throughout the construction process that could have been otherwise avoided. Let us handle the stressful aspects of your construction project so that you may continue with your day-to-day life.
If you encounter a construction-related dispute, seeking the advice of an experienced construction litigation attorney early in the process is critical to your success. In the unfortunate event that a construction claim does occur, our team is equipped and experienced in identifying, analyzing, and preparing construction claims and disputes. Our attorneys will carefully analyze your situation, and then implement a reasoned solution. We strive to avoid delay, because we understand that litigating matters can cause serious financial repercussions. By analyzing the construction contract and the parties' performance throughout the construction duration, we can identify liability, quantify damages, and assist in resolving the dispute in a timely and cost effective manner.
