Thorough Construction Dispute Investigation

Establishing liability in construction litigation often requires specialized knowledge of industry standards and practices. At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, we work with highly qualified experts, including general contractors, structural engineers, soil and geotechnical engineers, statisticians, and architects, to support our clients' claims. Using advanced diagnostic tools and analysis techniques, we build a solid case to help you achieve the best possible outcome in your dispute.

Fair and Just Compensation

If you've been affected by a construction defect or contractor’s failure to perform, you may be entitled to compensation. Our attorneys work diligently to secure damages that cover:

  • Actual costs for repairing and restoring damaged property, including costs for any contents damaged as a result (e.g., water damage from faulty plumbing)
  • Compensation for loss of use and enjoyment of your property, as well as inconvenience and discomfort
  • Appraisal fees, storage charges, and cleaning costs incurred due to construction issues
  • The reasonable cost of renting comparable property during periods when your property is unusable
  • Under certain circumstances, punitive damages intended to deter reckless or malicious conduct
  • Interest on damages, as permitted by law
  • Attorney fees and legal costs, if provided for in your contract

Mediation and Arbitration: Cost-Effective Solutions

Construction contracts often contain clauses that require mediation or arbitration to resolve disputes. These alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods can help parties avoid the expense and time involved in litigation. At Ferikes Bleynat & Cannon, our attorneys are experienced in representing clients during arbitration and mediation, working toward mutually beneficial solutions that allow construction projects to continue without costly delays.

By employing these strategies, we help our clients resolve disputes efficiently and effectively, saving them time, money, and the frustration of prolonged legal battles.
