Construction Litigation Lawyer in Billings, MT

There is no such thing as a simple construction project. The process starts long before the first shovel hits the dirt with issues like site acquisition, design, permitting, financing, contract negotiation, and environmental hurdles. And throughout any project—even after the doors are finally open—the process remains complex. Change orders, liens, OSHA issues, subcontractors, vendors, bonding, insurance, payment, construction defects, and warranty issues are just some of the many variables in any construction project.

What Are the Types of Hurdles Encountered in the Construction Business?

Not surprisingly, construction litigation is often as nuanced as the project itself. Disputes can occur at any time with respect to any aspect of the construction process. Sometimes they threaten to halt the project, sometimes they require immediate resolution, and sometimes they don’t come up for years after a project is complete.
