Breach of Contract

Construction and real estate projects rely on clear, enforceable contracts – outlining timelines, costs, and performance expectations. When one party fails to meet those terms, the result can lead to costly delays, unfinished work, and significant financial loss. At Cantley Law Firm, we represent property owners, developers, and HOAs in breach of contract claims involving construction agreements and related disputes. Our firm combines contract expertise with practical industry knowledge to hold parties accountable and protect your investment.

Signs & Things to Look Out For

If communication breaks down or promises are repeatedly delayed, it may be time to assess whether a breach has occurred. Common warning signs include:

• Missed deadlines or abandoned projects
• Poor-quality, rushed timelines or incomplete workmanship
• Unexplained cost increases or refusal to perform agreed-upon work
• Failure to pay contractors, subcontractors or suppliers
• Deviations from approved plans or materials without consent
• Refusal to correct known defects or warranty issues
• Lack of required documentation, permits, or lien releases

Why These Issues Occur

Breach of contract disputes often arise from deeper issues in project management, financing, or oversight:

• Overextended contractors or developers unable to meet commitments
• Miscommunication or poorly drafted contract terms
• Unlicensed or underqualified subcontractors
• Payment disputes between general contractors and subcontractors
• Unexpected costs or project delays that lead to cutting corners
• Refusal to honor change orders or warranty obligations

Potential Long-Term Consequences of These Issues

Early legal intervention is critical to preserve your rights and to avoid these outcomes:

• Significant financial loss due to unfinished or defective work
• Costly litigation or project shutdowns
• Loss of property value and delayed occupancy or sale
• Dispute with lenders, insurers, or subcontractors
• Mechanics’ liens or bond claims filed against the property
