What is a construction contract dispute in Leesburg, VA?

A construction contract dispute arises when parties disagree on terms like scope of work, payment, timelines, or quality of performance.

How do I enforce payment under a construction contract?

I issue a demand letter, negotiate a resolution, and if needed file a breach of contract claim to recover unpaid invoices.

What should I do if a change order isn’t approved?

Keep written records of your work, send a formal request for payment, and consult me to document and enforce your rights.

Can I claim liquidated damages if a project is late?

Yes, if your contract includes a valid liquidated damages clause, I can help you enforce it to recover costs for delays.

How long do I have to file a construction lawsuit in Virginia?

Generally, you have five years from the date of breach to file a written contract claim in Virginia courts.

What evidence is needed in a contract dispute?

Contracts, emails, change orders, payment records, project schedules, and expert reports all help prove your case.

Can you help draft clearer construction contracts?

Absolutely. I review and draft contracts with clear scope, payment terms, and dispute-resolution provisions to prevent future issues.

What if I’m sued for a construction defect?

I build your defense by showing compliance with contract terms, industry standards, and by challenging unsupported claims.

Facing a construction contract dispute in Leesburg, VA?

Construction projects rely on solid contracts.

When terms become unclear or someone fails to fulfill their obligations, your entire project—and budget—can crumble.

I’m Anthony Shin, and in Leesburg, VA, I help contractors, owners, and subcontractors resolve contract disputes so you stay on schedule and within budget.

Why Construction Contracts Matter

Your contract sets the rules for scope, timing, payment, and risk.

If a clause is unclear or someone breaches the deal, you could face:

Delays that drive up labor and equipment costs
Unpaid invoices that hurt your cash flow
Change order fights that stall work and sour relationships
Liability gaps that expose you to unexpected repairs or safety claims

How I Help You Build a Strong Case

I break down complex construction terms into plain English and take action to protect what you’ve invested:

Review & Clarify Contracts
I read every clause—scope of work, payment schedules, liquidated damages—and explain where you’re at risk.
Issue Demand Letters
A well-crafted letter can prompt payment or performance before costly litigation starts.
Negotiate Change Orders
I help you document and price changes so you receive fair compensation for extra work or delays caused by others.
File Breach Claims
If negotiation fails, I file suit to enforce payment, seek damages, or compel performance under the contract.
Defend Against Claims
If someone sues you, I build your defense—showing you met your obligations or identifying the other party’s responsibility.
