Contracts matter. Drawing on years of experience drafting, litigating, and arbitrating construction contracts for owners, developers, general contractors, subcontractors, and homebuilders, SHC understands how critical contract terms are to the success of a project. Well-crafted agreements can minimize disputes, reduce project interruptions, and put our clients in the best possible position if a disagreement arises. With our help, clients can be confident their contracts provide the framework they need for a successful project.

SHC prepares and negotiates construction contracts in whatever form our clients require—whether standard forms promulgated by the AIA, EJCDC, ConsensusDocs, or DBIA, or manuscripted agreements tailored to a particular client or project.

Our work includes drafting and negotiating:

• Design and construction prime contracts and subcontracts
• Consultant agreements
• Lender consents and other financial agreements
• Access agreements, easements, licenses, crane swing agreements, and staging area agreements
• Homebuilder purchase and sale agreements and disclosures
• Joint venture agreements
