Construction
We understand the risks that owners, contractors, and professionals face when planning or undertaking a construction project. Our construction and insurance attorneys work seamlessly together to help you mitigate the impact of those risks on your bottom line. Because we do not take work from insurance companies who issue builders risk or liability insurance for construction projects, we are uniquely positioned to advise owners and construction professionals on both the insurance and contractual aspects of a construction project.
Barnes & Thornburg offers full-service support throughout the entire construction project life cycle. Challenges can arise during any phase of a construction project and after project completion. Geotechnical and environmental issues, design errors and omissions, poor contracting, defective construction, unexpected site conditions, inclement weather, and other external impacts can all wreak havoc on the construction budget and schedule.
