Construction Contracts

Drafting, revising and reviewing construction contracts are not small tasks. Construction contracts are some of the most complex business contracts to evaluate and draft properly. An experienced contract lawyer can simplify the process, take the burden off your mind and ensure that your best interests are covered and promoted within any contract.

At The Sams Law Firm in Atlanta, we provide all of our clients with a customized approach based on their particular situation. We draft lump sum, cost-plus, design-build and other construction contracts. We also draft contracts between owners and their designers and construction managers. No two contracts should be exactly the same. Our personalized attention to your needs and objectives can reduce your overall costs on projects, balance liabilities and protect your rights more than any standard contract ever could. We provide practical solutions, honest advice and expedient dispute resolution under a wide variety of circumstances.

Results-Oriented, Swift Action

In our most recent construction arbitration, we successfully pursued claims on behalf of a general contractor who was wrongfully terminated from a construction project. The defendant owner alleged breach of contract, breach of warranty, work defects, fraudulent overbilling and other claims. After a week-long arbitration, the arbitrator awarded our client its contract balance, plus amounts for interest and attorney's fees.
