Construction Litigation Services We Offer

Our South Carolina construction litigation attorney has experience in handling the following construction litigation claims:

  • Breach of contract claims: A breach of contract claim may arise when one party accuses the other party of not fulfilling the terms of a contract.
  • Construction defect claims: Construction defect claims can be complicated. Our South Carolina construction litigation attorney understands the state’s building code regulations and can assist you in filing your claim.
  • Warranty claims: Poor workmanship can cause a construction project to not hold up, causing a homeowner to have to pay for costly repairs, losing thousands of dollars in the process.
  • Insurance coverage for construction projects: Our firm has experience negotiating with insurance companies. If there is a dispute regarding whether insurance will cover your project or if insurance is denying coverage, we can help.
  • Payment disputes: Payment disputes are amongst the most common in construction litigation. A payment dispute may involve a disagreement about scheduled payments between two parties or non-payment of one party.
  • Defective building products: Substandard building materials could cause a homeowner or business owner to suffer an injury. Our construction litigation attorney would investigate to determine the deficiency of certain products.
  • Mechanic’s lien: A contractor may put a lien against a homeowner’s property for non-payment. Under the South Carolina Code, a contractor must place a lien on a property within 90 days of finishing labor or furnishing materials. If a contractor is outside that 90-day timeframe, he or she will lose the right to recover for any work and materials rendered.
