Potential Liabilities In Green Construction Projects
Our San Jose construction litigation lawyers have extensive experience representing contractors, subcontractors, commercial entities and building owners in issues surrounding green buildings. There are some additional liabilities that exist in green building construction, including:
- Problems associated with the project delivery method
- Problems associated with Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification
- Construction defect problems associated with new products and materials
- Misrepresentation of the outcome
The damages an owner may recover from a contractor for a failed green building project may be greater than those involved in a traditional building. That is why it is important to have our attorneys thoroughly review any contracts associated with this type of construction. You do not want to agree to take on any more risks than are absolutely necessary. This is a complicated, highly regulated area, and standard contracts and bidding codes may not apply. We can help you limit your exposure to liability.
