Why Would Wilcox County, Georgia Need Construction Attorneys?

There are two main reasons why clients contact about their work in Wilcox County:

1.The first group of clients are not based Wilcox County; instead, they may be in a neighboring area, from Florida or Alabama or even shipping product from somewhere else in the country. They are supplying construction materials, rental equipment, construction related services such as architectural or engineering drawings, or labor to a construction project located in Abbeville or elsewhere in Wilcox County. These clients frequently have two questions for us:

• • I’m about to or currently supplying materials, services or labor on a construction project and what do I need to do to protect my right to receive payment?
  • I have already supplies materials, services or labor on a project, but I haven’t received payment, what rights do I have?

• • drafting, negotiation or interpretation of construction contracts
  • construction mediation or arbitration
  • construction delays or contract breeches
  • they have not received payment for their services, supplies or materials
