Comprehensive Construction Litigation Services

Brownlee & Associates, LLC represents clients in a broad range of construction disputes, including:

  • Contract breaches: Disputes over failure to perform contractual obligations, scope of work disagreements, cost overruns, timing disputes and project terminations.
  • Construction defects: Claims involving structural defects, poor workmanship, substandard materials, and building code violations.  We have prosecuted and defended numerous claims brought under the Colorado Construction Defect Reform Act (CCDRA) and are familiar with the subtle nuances found in Colorado construction law.
  • Payment disputes: Legal action related to unpaid invoices, mechanic’s liens, retainage disputes, and non-payment for change orders.
  • Project delays and cost overruns: Addressing disputes over missed deadlines, unforeseen costs, and contract penalty clauses.  We also have experience helping our clients enforce specific timing and costs provisions including but not limited to guaranteed maximum price agreements, per diem delay penalty’s and run away change orders.
  • Warranty claims: Enforcing warranty obligations for defective construction and ensuring compliance with contractual guarantees.
  • Performance bond and surety disputes: Legal support in conflicts involving construction bonds and contractor performance guarantees.
  • Subcontractor and supplier disputes: Resolving conflicts between general contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers over payment, performance, and liability.

We explore alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods such as mediation and arbitration to reach cost-effective settlements whenever possible. However, when litigation is necessary, our attorneys are prepared to aggressively advocate for our clients in court to achieve the best possible results.
