WHAT IS CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION?

Construction litigation is a unique area of the law that aims to resolve construction-related disputes in court. Most construction litigation matters arise because one contractor fails to pay another contractor for work, disputes over workmanship and defective construction, and delays during construction. However, it is important to note that disputes can arise at any stage of the construction process (from the time the parties enter into a construction contract to years after completion of the project).

What Is Construction Litigation

COMMON REASONS FOR CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION

Construction disputes that result in litigation can arise out of a host of issues, including but not limited to:

Nonpayment.

As a contractor’s work is completed, payment applications are submitted to the owner or general contractor for payment. Withholding payment can amount to breach of contract, violation of Arizona’s Prompt Payment Act and other doctrines and legal theories. A contractor that has not been paid may be able to file a Mechanic’s Lien on the project property. Once filed, the Mechanic’s Lien attaches to the property and becomes an encumbrance on the property, preventing the sale of the property until the lien amount is paid.

Quality of construction.

If construction work is not performed in compliance with the construction contract and in a workmanlike manner, the contractor may be required to remediate and repair the defective work. If an owner discovers that inferior materials were used on a project, the owner may demand the materials be torn out and replaced with quality materials. Disputes commonly arise when the contractor completes its work in compliance with the project plans, however, the project plans are later determined to be inadequate. The question arises of who bears responsibility for the non-compliant work.

Delays.

Delays to construction projects occur when other contractors are slow to complete their scope of work, harsh weather conditions, issues obtaining permits, material shortages, and changes to project plans. These delays cost money and the owners and general contractors attempt to recover the costs from subcontractors, even when delays are not the fault of the contractor.
