Q: Construction Law
Hi.
I have signed a construction contract which im currently having some issues. Throughout the contract it notes items that "shall" be completed or provided. This is not an issue and make sense.
There are a number of items that state "generally consist of" In this scenario what does generally consist mean? My understanding is as long as what is provided does not limit in any way the clients desired functionality of the contract, we should be free to change these items, as long as we provide a fit for purpose solution?
A:
This could be difficult to address in the brief format of this Q & A board. If you consulted with an attorney, they would likely want to see the contract in its entirety. Without more context, one could only speculate on what the term means, such as in fill material, aggregate material, material to be disposed of in compliance with local laws, etc. These are only general guesses. There's no guarantee all posts are picked up, but you could repost this in the state where you're located. But it's likely that an attorney would want to see the contract and know more about the project. Good luck
