A Strong Contract Lays the Foundation for a Successful Project
Our firm is skilled at understanding and explaining how your contract will affect the profitability of your project. Embarking on any construction project carries with it the potential for things to go wrong, including:
- Unforeseen site conditions that require changes to the plans
- Defective plans
- Delays caused by the building department
- Work site injuries
A strong contract provides the protection you need by anticipating and minimizing risk. Backed by nearly two decades of experience, we understand what it takes to negotiate and draft construction contracts that aim to divide financial risk fairly between all of the parties involved.
Attorney Michael Berkley is licensed to practice in New York and New Jersey, and he has extensive experience in handling both AIA (American Institute of Architects) and non-AIA contracts, including contracts between any of the parties involved in your project. Additionally, we have experience with supply and materials contracts as well as controlled inspection contracts.
