Construction Contracts, Development and Construction Liens

No matter what role your business is playing in a construction project of any kind - residential, industrial, commercial, office or retail - the contract attorneys at Penzien & McBride, PLLC can negotiate, document and enforce your rights while reducing your risk and protecting your profits.  For more specific information about our ability to represent your interests under a construction contract, contact the construction lawyer at our Clinton Township office.

We represent owners, developers, architects, general contractors, and subcontractors engaged in property development and new construction .  Our careful planning in the negotiation and drafting of your agreement will result in clearly defined rights and responsibilities, sensible provisions for risk, and avoidance of potential liability for risks that lie beyond your control.  We can handle any stage of your project from the initial contract between the developer and the architect, through the building permit process, to monitoring the performance and payment of subcontractors.

Our construction contract lawyers also advise clients about insurance coverage, change orders, sworn statements, pay orders, and lien waivers.  Our objective is to make sure that your project proceeds as smoothly as possible from contract to payment if you are a contractor or subcontractor, and from site selection to sale or lease of the last unit if you're the developer.

If any problems happen to arise in the course of the project, the Michigan construction litigation attorneys of Penzien & McBride, PLLC represent clients asserting or defending claims relating to:

  • Construction warranties
  • Construction liens
  • Casualty insurance or performance bonds
  • Substitution of the general contractor
  • Late performance or nonperformance
  • Financing problems
