New York Construction Contracts
Entering into a new construction contract with a construction company or a contractor should always be done in the presence of an attorney to make sure that the contractor nor the client are breaking any of the laws of the state of New York when it comes to drafting new construction contracts. It is extremely important to ensure that all the terms of the contract are negotiated and drafted to protect the client’s interests and expectations of the construction that will take place. Construction contracts can be drafted and signed for residential projects, commercial projects, and government projects. The construction that is performed can be for a brand new building or home or to repair a home or building or to construct an addition onto the existing home or building.
