    Building Blocks of Negotiation

    Negotiation in construction contracts isn’t just about haggling over prices; it’s about aligning expectations, managing risks, and fostering collaboration.

Negotiating contract terms requires attention to detail and a keen understanding of legal frameworks. General contractors, remodelers, subcontractors and home builders must carefully review contract clauses related to scope of work, payment terms, timelines, and dispute resolution mechanisms.
