CONSTRUCTION LAW

The Brad Davidson Law Firm represents construction clients throughout the duration of their projects, helping them enter into strong contracts, navigate regulations that they encounter along the way and respond to any disputes that arise during or after the project. Some of the most significant expenditure of capital a company makes will be in constructing new capital improvements. The company doing the construction also undertakes significant risk. It hires workers, purchases materials and works according to the owner’s instructions. However, disagreements often occur, with substantial amounts at stake for both sides. We have experience asserting and defending mechanics’ lien claims. We also have experience arbitrating and litigating construction disputes involving the construction contract and the construction work, including warranties involving the work.

We help our clients with:

  • Construction and finance contracts
  • Mechanics’ lien filing and defending
  • Construction defect and construction contract disputes including litigation and arbitration

FAQ

How do I file a mechanic's lien in Texas?

A contractor or supplier records a lien affidavit in the county real property records where the project sits and sends statutory notice to the owner. Texas has strict deadlines tied to when work or materials were provided.

What happens if a contractor doesn't get paid on a Midland or Odessa project?

An unpaid contractor's strongest tool is usually a properly perfected mechanic's lien, which can force payment or lead to foreclosure. Other remedies include breach-of-contract, Prompt Payment Act, and retainage claims.
