Blocked access, late approvals, design changes, stacked trades, extra labor hours, idle equipment, and extended supervision may overlap to create a project delay. A credible claim separates those events and shows which cost followed each one.

Our article examines how owners, contractors, and subcontractors can assess schedule impact and responsibility before litigation.

Property-line disputes can get expensive when each side relies on a different description of the same boundary.

A survey may conflict with a deed description, a fence location, or years of property use. The legal issue may involve title, an easement, adverse possession, or trespass. A professional assessment helps identify the controlling issue before construction activity or litigation adds expense.

Call McClain DeWees, PLLC at (502) 749-2388 to discuss the available paths.

Late completion and lost productivity are different construction problems.

A delay claim tracks added time and time-related cost. A disruption claim tracks reduced efficiency from stacked trades, repeated resequencing, blocked access, or stop-and-resume work.

That distinction directs the evidence and damages analysis. Our blog post examines how Indiana contracts, notice provisions, and project records influence each path.

Retainage can protect unfinished work. It can also trap earned money after the remaining scope has been identified and priced.

A defensible retainage position connects the amount held to the contract language, actual incomplete work, and a supportable cost estimate. When the number has no connection to the open scope, payment disputes become harder and pricier.

Our blog examines how project type, completion status, contract terms, and state law influence retainage disputes.
