How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Construction Services Agreement in Florida

In 2023, a personal client in Florida sought assistance with a construction services agreement for the building of a new residence. The client needed a professional review of a template provided by a national builder to identify any potential pitfalls and liabilities within the agreement, especially concerning the future addition of a swimming pool. They aimed to ensure that all critical issues outside the terms of the agreement were considered, particularly due to the unique aspects of constructing in a community with specific regulations. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $1,750. All proposals were submitted promptly to meet the client's deadline of one week.
