Errors and omissions
Errors and omissions in site plans can severely affect the progress of your project. The Turlington Law Firm has extensive experience handling these disputes and protecting the interests of contractors, owners, architects and engineers.
Contract disputes
Construction projects often require the signing of numerous contracts to secure access to labor and materials. A breach of one of these contracts can cause havoc at your work site. The Turlington Law Firm ensures clients get the compensation and services they need to finish their projects on time. We also help clients draft and review contracts to protect their interests in the future.
Mechanic’s liens
The David J. Turlington III team helps contractors and material suppliers draft, serve, file and enforce mechanic’s liens against property developers and owners to ensure payment for the services that were rendered. We also represent contractors, developers and owners, to help them vacate improper or exaggerated liens brought against them.
Material suppliers’ rights
Suppliers have many of the same rights as contractors and deserve the relief that they are entitled to by law. We help suppliers receive the compensation they deserve by enforcing personal guarantees made by property developers and assist in filing liens, stop notices and writs of attachment on their behalf.
Collections and payment disputes
The David J. Turlington III team handles all situations involving payment disputes, including:
Bid contests, mistakes and protests | Surety bond claims |
Collections | Stop notices |
Non-payment for extra work | Work stoppages and delays |
Writs of attachment |
Arbitration
David J. Turlington III is experienced in arbitrating, mediating, and litigating construction law matters at all levels of North Carolina courts, as well as Arbitration under the Construction Industry Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
