As a residential real estate attorney, you guide clients through the intricacies of property transactions. You handle closings, leases, financing, and entitlements. Construction contracts require a different focus.

We offer a flat-fee, process-driven method for preparing these contracts, providing a streamlined and efficient option for your clients. This service allows you to offer clients support in this area without venturing outside your core real estate practice, what you do best.

This page explains how we can be a valuable resource for your home-buying clients as they embark on renovation or new construction projects.

We aim to provide your clients with tools and resources to:

  • Understand Project Delivery Methods: Learn about different approaches to contracting for and managing their construction project.
  • Explore Pricing Options for Design and Construction Services: Gain information on the pros and cons of the typical pricing and payment structures.
  • Learn About Insurable Risks: Become familiar with key insurance considerations for construction projects, empowering your clients to have smart discussions with their insurance brokers.

We focus on the construction contract itself, offering a structured approach. This allows you to continue serving your clients as their trusted real estate advisor, knowing they have access to resources.
