New York’s new off-site custom fabrication prevailing wage requirement has been temporarily suspended.

The requirement will remain suspended while the legal challenge moves forward, unless the court orders otherwise.

Jason Copley and Edward Seglias examine the New York Amendment, the competing positions, similar laws in other states and what contractors and fabricators should know.

Construction industry professionals in Pennsylvania have reason to breathe a little easier after a recent decision from the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.

In Clearfield County v. Transystems Corporation, the Court confirmed that even a county, state agency or other governmental body cannot revive an old construction defect claim once Pennsylvania’s 12-year deadline has passed. For contractors, architects and engineers, that means a firm, predictable cutoff for liability on older projects.

Andrew M. Hansen breaks down the decision and what it means for the construction industry in his latest blog.
