Construction Services
Mansour Gavin’s provides comprehensive legal counsel to clients across the construction industry. We represent builders, owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, lenders, construction managers, and engineers in projects spanning healthcare, education, environmental services, manufacturing, transportation, and other industries.
Our team understands the complex legal and regulatory issues that arise throughout the construction process. We work proactively to prevent problems and efficiently resolve them when they occur. Our clients value our practical, cost-effective approach to safeguarding their interests at every stage of their projects.
We advise clients on contract preparation, negotiation, administration, and compliance, as well as the development, negotiation, and defense of claims involving adjustments to contract price and time. Our experience includes design errors and omissions, change orders, construction delays and impacts, cost overruns, construction defects, breach of contract, and other performance disputes. We also guide clients through project closeout and workout, including terminations, takeovers, liquidating agreements, mechanics’ liens, insurance coverage, and surety bond matters.
