Protecting your Best Interests

Construction projects are prone to litigation. Businesses hope that parties to an agreement follow the terms of the contract and that the project is completed on time. Many construction disputes involve vague, ambiguous or ill-defined terms in a contract or the complete disregard for provisions in the contract. No matter the construction law issue, Olson & Good can help.

Procurement Bids • Government Contracts • Compliance

The lawyers at Olson & Good can help ensure successful placement of a procurement bid on a large construction project or governmental project. In order to best assist developers and contractors in writing timely bids, we meet with clients to understand their requirements and interests. Our goal is to help our clients place everything in order and enable them to win bids to build South Carolina's schools and other public buildings.

Bonds

Mechanics Liens

If your customer failed to pay for materials or services, a mechanics lien can help you legally secure payment for your work on a construction project. Mechanics liens require you to follow strict legal filing requirements and time is of the essence. Our attorneys advise contractors and subcontractors about issues such as:

• Timeliness of filing a mechanics lien
• Legal requirements in filing a mechanics lien
• Legal ability to file a mechanics lien against the customer
• Whether you first in the line of creditors demanding payment
• Taking an aggressive approach from the beginning, while respecting your relationships

Construction Litigation

If you are involved in a construction law dispute or lawsuit, Olson & Good will represent you against allegations of non-performance, inadequate performance, and delays in completion. We also offer representation to hold customers accountable for monetary damages you suffered, delivery of non-conforming or defective goods, and non-delivery of goods.

Contractors need an aggressive representative on their side in a dispute, as profits can by quickly lost by missing payments, non-performance and job site delays. Contact Olson & Good today for representation throughout the Lowcountry of South Carolina
