Construction Legal Questions and Answers
Construction
Time and Materials Contract
California
Can you explain the key terms and potential risks involved in entering into a time and material contract?
I am currently in the process of negotiating a contract with a construction company for a home renovation project, and they have proposed a time and material contract. While I understand that this type of contract allows for flexibility in terms of pricing and scope changes, I am concerned about potential risks and uncertainties associated with such an agreement. I want to ensure that I have a clear understanding of the key terms and conditions, as well as any potential legal implications, before proceeding with this contract.
Dolan W.
Hello! The risks associated with T&M contracts often revolve around cost uncertainty. Since the final price depends on the actual hours worked and materials used, costs can easily exceed the initial estimates, especially if there are delays or unforeseen issues during the project. Additionally, without strict monitoring, contractors may have little incentive to work efficiently or use cost-effective materials. It’s essential to have detailed documentation requirements for time and materials used to ensure transparency. Lawyers essentially have T&M contracts and it's why there are so many disputes, so I'm familiar with your concerns. To adjust for these risks, you can negotiate terms such as a not-to-exceed limit or a guaranteed maximum price. I usually set expectations with clients in advance for my work and you can do the same with this particular contractor. If you need assistance in drafting or negotiating a T&M contract, you can come back and have an agreement prepared through Contractscounsel.com Best of luck! Dolan

Lien
Georgia
Need a free consultation.
We are selling our house in 1 week and a GC put a fraudulent lien on our home well past the 90 days. Thank you
Donya G.
Why is the lien fraudulent? Here are some options: How to remove a property lien You'll need to file a lien release form in order to sell or transfer your property. A lien release form can remove a property lien, or a claim a creditor has against your property for a debt you owe. Property lien removal process A lien against your property will prevent you from selling it until that debt is paid. Here are the steps to take to remove the claim of the lien holder against your property. Make sure the debt the lien represents is valid. If you don't believe you owe the debt to which the lien is attached, you may want to consult with an attorney. Pay off the debt. If the debt is valid, pay the creditor in full. If you work with an attorney, you may be able to negotiate a lower payoff amount. Fill out a release-of-lien form. You can often find lien release paperwork online. If not, try the county clerk's office or an attorney, if you have one. Make sure the form includes your name, the lien holder's name, proof and amount of the debt paid, and a description and address for the property. Have the lien holder sign the release-of-lien form in front of a notary. The lien holder needs to sign the document in the presence of a notary public. File the lien release form. You'll usually file the lien release at the county recorder's office, at which point it becomes public record. You may have to pay a small fee to file. Ask for a lien waiver, if appropriate. A lien waiver is a document from a contractor showing that you have paid for the work in full and waiving all future lien rights of the contractor in the work or equipment. Keep a copy. You'll want to have a copy of the release form for your records. Other ways to avoid or remove a lien Court order. If you believe the lien exists due to bad faith, coercion, or fraud, you may be able to obtain a court order lifting it. The lien is a result of a money judgment issued by the court. I encourage you to engage an attorney with knowledge and expertise to assist you with this matter. All the best, Donya

Roofing Contract
Texas
stuck in a bad contract
I got into a contract with a roofing company that wants to charge me 12 thousand dollars out of pocket on top of he !5 or so thousand that thge insurance is paying or the want 5,800 for breach of contract i need the roof but i cant afford that much debt or cash
Howard B.
Courts will protect you from an illegal deal, but they will not protect you from an unwise deal. On its face, this is enforceable. However, I know Texas has some very strong consumer protection laws and a Texas attorney may be able to help you with that. You will need to speak directly to a Texas attorney. I'm in a neighboring state and not licensed there.

Construction Contract
North Dakota
Does this constitute a breach of contract on the part of the home improvement company?
I'm waiting for a roofing project to get started which is holding up my other home improvement projects. I received an email from the company stating: "This is to confirm that we have your roof install set for 8/25-8/26." After sending several emails to the scheduling manager without response, I called the local project manager on Wed, Sept 1 to check the status. He has no idea when it will get done. I was unaware that they are subcontracting the project so they can't find a crew to do the job. He said he would get back to me but I haven't heard anything since. Contract states in part: "Customer shall be responsible for the cost to Company of any custom ordered products or materials, a 10% restocking fee on any non-custom products or materials, installation costs, if any, incurred by Company, and liquidated damages of 30% of the contract price as and for Company's lost profits. Such costs and damages may be withheld from Customer deposits." I have paid them half of the bid, $7200. Are they in breach of contract? Can I cancel this contract without being responsible for costs and damages and receive a full refund?
Donya G.

Renovation Contract
California
Can a renovation contract be terminated if the contractor fails to complete the project within the agreed-upon timeframe?
I recently hired a contractor to renovate my home, and we signed a contract that included a specific timeframe for completion. However, it has been several weeks past the agreed-upon completion date, and the project is still not finished. I have already paid a significant amount of money upfront, and I am concerned about the contractor's ability to complete the renovation. Can I terminate the contract and seek a refund if the contractor fails to meet the agreed-upon timeframe?
Dolan W.
Hello! I'm so sorry about your situation. So legally speaking, you do have a right to cancel the agreement. The law would consider their actions to be a breach of contract for their failure to perform within the timeframe allotted. Because of their lack of performance, you can suspend your performance. You may want to consider just writing a formal demand letter. to the contractor to refund your money. https://www.contractscounsel.com/t/document-form-checkout/256.
