UNDERSTANDING FLORIDA’S COMPLEX CONSTRUCTION LAWS
Florida construction law presents unique challenges for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, developers, and property owners. This is particularly true of Florida’s construction lien laws, where strict statutory requirements can directly affect the rights and obligations of everyone involved in a construction project.
Construction liens provide important protections to those who furnish labor, services, and materials to improve real property, but preserving those protections requires careful compliance with Florida law. Notices to owner, claims of lien, contractor affidavits, lien releases, and other documents are subject to specific requirements and deadlines. Even a seemingly-minor error can affect your lien rights, payment rights, or other legal remedies.
The attorneys at Deeb Law Group, P.A. have extensive experience in Florida construction law and construction lien matters. Whether you are a contractor, business owner, or homeowner, we can advise you throughout every stage of a construction project—from contract formation and project administration to payment disputes, lien claims, litigation, and dispute resolution.
PREVENTING DISPUTES THROUGH CAREFUL PLANNING
Effective construction counsel begins before a dispute arises. We work with you to establish sound practices designed to protect your contractual and statutory rights, reduce unnecessary risk, and address potential problems before they become costly legal disputes.
Our attorneys can guide you regarding notices to owner, construction liens, lien releases, contractor affidavits, payment procedures, and other requirements arising under Florida construction law. We provide practical guidance on when these documents are required, how they should be prepared and served, and the deadlines necessary to preserve important legal rights.
CONSTRUCTION LITIGATION AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Even with careful planning, disputes can arise during the course of a construction project. When they do, Deeb Law Group, P.A. can represent you in construction-related disputes in both state and federal court. Alternative-dispute-resolution options, including mediation and arbitration, may also provide a means of resolving disputes outside of court.
We have represented contractors, subcontractors, developers, property owners, and other construction-industry participants in matters involving construction-lien claims and foreclosures, construction defects, contract disputes, change orders, payment disputes, proper-payment defenses, pay-if-paid and pay-when-paid provisions, notice requirements, payment and performance bonds, project delays, and termination disputes.
With decades of civil litigation and construction law experience, our attorneys understand both the technical requirements of Florida construction law and the practical realities of construction projects.
