Common Construction Law Disputes We Resolve
Construction disputes are often fact-intensive, financially significant, and disruptive to both individuals and businesses. Corsaut & Wayland represents clients in a range of construction-related matters, including disputes involving contracts, defective work, repairs, payment obligations, and project performance.Below are some of the most common issues our firm helps clients address.
Construction Defects and Non-Disclosed Construction Defects
We represent clients dealing with serious construction defects, including matters involving defective workmanship, recurring failures, hidden issues, and defects that were not properly disclosed during the purchase of a property.
Repair Failures and Workmanship Claims
Some disputes arise when repair efforts fail, problems continue, or the quality of the work remains in question. These matters often require careful legal review of both the original work and later repair efforts.
New Home Defects - Builder Defects
We purchased a new home from a builder and are experiencing defects with the property. The windows are not sealed and weather proof, the doors are not closing properly, the nails are popping out of the drywall.
GC Sued For Sub’s Work - Enforce Sub Warranty / Shift Responsibility
We are a subcontractor on a project and the general contractor failed to pay us and is refusing to compensate us for our work.
Contractor and Subcontractor Disputes
Our firm handles disputes involving general contractors, subcontractors, and project owners, including issues tied to incomplete work, poor performance, project delays, and disagreements over responsibility.
Contractor Overcharged - Abandoned Project
We hired a contractor to build an addition or repair our house, and they overcharged us, did defective work, and then abandoned the project after we refused to pay the unjustified charges.
Subcontractor Not Paid By General Contractor
We are a subcontractor on a project and the general contractor failed to pay us and is refusing to compensate us for our work.
Homeowner Breach - Contractor Seeking Damages
Our construction company was hired to build or improve a residence, and the homeowner breached our agreement and refused to continue, after we spent considerable time and resources in the project. We would like to pursue claims and damages against the owner.
Contract, Scope, and Payment Disputes
Construction projects often break down over contract interpretation, scope changes, unpaid balances, billing disputes, and disagreements over what work was required or delivered. We help clients evaluate and address these issues strategically.
Contractor Debt and Construction-Related Defense Matters
We represent contractor businesses facing debt-related disputes, payment conflicts, and construction-related claims that require a focused legal defense and a practical path forward.
Property Damage and High-Value Construction Conflicts
Construction-related issues can have serious consequences for valuable residential or commercial properties. Our firm represents clients in disputes where the stakes are significant and the legal and financial consequences require serious attention.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you handle pre-litigation negotiations?
Yes. Many matters benefit from early, structured negotiation when it aligns with your objectives and preserves cost control. The strategy depends on the documents, deadlines, and leverage available.
What documents should I bring?
Bring all contracts, amendments, change orders, key emails and texts, notices, invoices, payment records, photos, schedules, and any demand letters or claim documents. If you are not sure, send what you have - we will identify gaps.
Do you offer flat-fee contract or lease reviews?
This is a strong option for defined scopes such as contract review, lease review, or demand letter drafting. Offer this where it is operationally accurate for the firm.
What is the typical timeline for a dispute?
Timelines vary by issue, court venue, and the other side’s posture. A focused intake can usually identify the likely path and time horizon quickly.
Which counties or regions do you serve?
We are based in Folsom and serve clients throughout the Sacramento metro area, including Sacramento County and surrounding communities.
For matters outside the Sacramento region, we can often assist on a case-by-case basis depending on the issue and venue.
Do you handle both residential and commercial matters?
Yes. We handle real estate and construction matters for both residential and commercial contexts, depending on the issue. We do not handle residential landlord-tenant matters.
Feedback From Our Clients
When to Contact a Lawyer for Construction Disputes
The earlier a dispute is reviewed, the better positioned a client may be to protect evidence, avoid unnecessary mistakes, and strengthen the legal strategy. You should consider speaking with an expert construction lawyer for construction matters if:
You have discovered possible construction defects
Visible damage, hidden conditions, repair failures, moisture intrusion, or signs of poor workmanship can all point to larger legal and financial issues.
You are in a dispute over work quality, scope, or performance
Project breakdowns often become legal disputes when expectations, responsibilities, and performance are no longer aligned.
The construction problem is becoming more costly or more complex
When the issue continues to worsen, affects the property more broadly, or involves multiple parties, it may be time to involve experienced construction defect attorneys.
