Construction

The construction of a building, whether for residential or commercial purposes, as well as home improvements and improvements to an existing building, involves many different participants as does the construction of site improvements and the installation of swimming pools.  Financial institutions, developers, surveyors, engineers, architects, builders, general contractors, subcontractors and many more entities may be involved in a construction project. Whether you’re looking for an attorney to help you review a construction contract or bid, or are involved in a dispute over an existing construction contract, it is essential that you have qualified representation from attorneys with knowledge of contract law, zoning, and land use law, employment law, torts, and commercial law. The attorneys at Gerstein Grayson & Cohen have extensive experience in construction law and are able to assist you in this complex field.
