MAY BE CONSIDERED ATTORNEY ADVERTISING MATERIAL.
There are many things that a Project Owner should consider carefully before embarking upon a Design But here are few in particular that come to mind... First of all, Project Owners should understand that under Illinois law, if they don't collect certain paperwork from the General Contractor at the beginning of the Project, and with each payment they make to the General Contractor, the Project Owner can be forced to pay for the Construction Work twice in the event the General Contractor absconds with the money without paying the Subcontractors who are actually doing the Work It is also important to remember that if you do not have a good Construction Contract, you should not consider the Courts as a source of "saving" from your "bad business deal" Courts that resolve business disputes including those around Design and Construction contracts are not going to look to rewrite your "business deal" they're going to look to "enforce it" So a Judge's first instinct is going to be to understand... what is the Contract? Rather than try to superimpose atop the Contract, his or her own sense of justice and fairness It is also important for the "occasional builder" or the "infrequent consumer" of Design and Construction services to realize that when they receive a Proposal from their Contractor, their Architect or their Engineer - the odds are they're not going to be able to spot the deficiencies in the Proposal In other words, they won't necessarily be able to tell what is missing from the Proposal that they need to protect themselves And the odds are, they may not understand when they are looking at a very "one-sided" Proposal in the other Party's favor That is a place where a Construction Attorney can help It is also important for Project Owners to remember to consult their Insurance Brokers before they embark on a Design and Construction project.
