- Q. How do I get CAD plans from an architect?
- A: This is an unfortunate situation, however, when dealing with a builder's new home architect, it is likely that the plans are merely a repetition with slight variation on plans the architect has previously designed for the builder and for which the builder may own the license rights. It would be highly unusual for the builder to enter into an agreement with a prospective owner that would allow for the use of these plans regardless of whether or not you decided to eventually use its services, but stranger things have been known to happen. As with most issues regarding construction disputes, a review of the specific facts and all of the terms and conditions of the written agreement are required ... Read More
- Q. The client signed my contract to add a pool to a home under construction & will not close on home. Do I have to refund
- A: Unfortunately, as with almost all issues involving construction disputes, a review of the terms and conditions of the entire written agreement, the very specific facts, and application of any relevant statutory provisions is required to provide anything more than the most general of responses.
In this case, some of the facts that might matter would be the amount of the deposit, the actual value of the work taken in performance of the contract, and whether or not the person with whom you contracted (i.e., the prospective owner) had the authority to allow the imposition of a contractor's lien against the real property. There may well be other other terms of the contract that could be relevant ... Read More
- Q. Owner/tenant contract w/GenCon. All invoices paid, owner sued for unpaid inv. from subCont., default win due to error?
- A: When a default judgment has been entered, in this case presumably by the judge and not simply a clerk's default, it is long past time for the property owner to obtain actual legal advice from an experienced construction litigator as to the specific facts of this matter. There may be grounds to attack a default, however, there are very rigid and complex requirements for any such motion and strict time limits as noted by Attorney Stage.
If the questioner in this matter is the property manager, the questioner cannot represent the owner in litigation (no such thing as a power of attorney in lawsuits, only actual attorneys) nor should it be obtaining and providing legal advice for another ... Read More
