Beals Hubbard’s Construction Practice Group represents clients on the myriad of issues associated with construction transactions and litigation. The Firm is involved in alternative sources of financing and the selection of delivery methods tailored to the client’s needs (fast track, multiple primes, design/build, construction management and general contractor).

Beals Hubbard advises its clients in the contract formation stage including issues involving implied contractual obligations, multiple site conditions, lien rights and the impact of exculpatory contract clauses.

The Firm guides clients in on site risk management, bid proposals and any project alterations including scope of work revisions, constructive changes, pricing and written change orders. When timing issues are involved, the Firm advised its clients as to project scheduling, delays, concurrent delays and acceleration clauses. As to performance defects, the Firm advises it clients as to risk of loss, inspections, implied and express warranties. The Firm also handles construction disputes through litigation, dispute resolution and arbitration.

Beals Hubbard appreciates the need of an owner, general contractor or subcontractor to budget per project and we therefore implement an advanced budgeting program for clients. Such a budget sets forth the projected fees and costs for a particular assignment. This allows the Firm and the Client to go into a project with agreed upon expectations, goals and clear financial information.
