Q: I am in a Construction Litigation with my contractor. The contractor has performed an inspection
Now his subcontractors all want to come and do their inspections. Is it allowed by the law?
A:
During a construction litigation process, each party may have the right to conduct inspections to gather evidence or assess the condition of the construction project. This may include inspections performed by the contractor, subcontractors, or other involved parties.
However, the specific circumstances surrounding these inspections, including timing, access to the property, and coordination between parties, may be governed by the terms of your construction contract or court orders.
A: In a construction litigation case, it is common for subcontractors to conduct inspections alongside the contractor. These inspections can provide valuable information and evidence relevant to the dispute. The allowance for subcontractor inspections may depend on the laws and regulations of your jurisdiction and the terms outlined in your contract with the contractor. It is crucial to review your contract and consult with a construction law attorney to understand the specific rights and obligations of subcontractors regarding inspections. They can provide personalized guidance and help address any concerns you may have about the subcontractor inspections, ensuring your rights and interests are protected throughout the construction litigation process.
