Projects are built in the field. So are the disputes. Our construction practice is staffed to handle both.
BauHaus advises developers, contractors, subcontractors, sureties, and insurers on the projects that define skylines and infrastructure in the United States and Europe. We work from term sheet through final certificate, and through arbitration or court when necessary. Our lawyers are fluent in the contracts the industry actually uses: AIA A-series and B-series, ConsensusDocs, FIDIC Red, Yellow, and Silver, NEC4, and bespoke EPC agreements.
What we do
Negotiation and drafting of construction contracts. Public and private procurement. Delay, disruption, and acceleration claims. Change-order and payment disputes. Mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens. Surety, bond, and indemnity disputes. Design professional liability. Construction insurance and Builder’s Risk coverage. ICC, AAA, ICDR, and LCIA arbitration. State and federal court litigation.
How we use AI
Construction matters multiply documents faster than most firms can read them. Daily reports, RFIs, submittals, schedules, change orders, and correspondence chains. Our review workflows triage an evidentiary record at a speed that was not available even five years ago, at prices that make early, informed decisions realistic rather than aspirational.
Why BauHaus
Construction disputes turn on documents marshaled in a coherent record. Our process produces that record in weeks, not quarters, with a senior attorney owning the theory of the case and the strategy of the claim.
Representative matters
Illustrative only. Advised a developer on a $400M mixed-use development and the associated EPC structure. Represented an EPC contractor in a FIDIC arbitration seated in Paris. Prosecuted a subcontractor’s delay and disruption claim on a federal infrastructure project. Defended a design professional in a multi-party liability action following a structural failure.
