General Contractor, Architect, Design & Construction Agreements

Each project involving construction requires a number of independent parties such as the property owners, architects, general contractors, construction managers, designers and trade contractors. As they come together, each party has their own rights and obligations that have to be outlined in several agreements. At Vanbelle we help our clients in drafting, negotiating, and signing of these agreements, along with other mainstay documents in this arena.
