Construction Contract Drafting

Smith, Gambrell & Russell’s construction attorneys have drafted and negotiated thousands of design and construction contracts for all types of projects. Our experience includes drafting form contracts that can be used by clients on multiple projects using either industry form contracts, such as the forms published by the American Institute of Architects, ConsensusDocs, and Design Build Institute of America, or one of our own manuscript form contracts.

Our experience in this area has enabled us to save our clients costs and properly place risk with the contracting party best equipped to manage a certain risk with the goal of finalizing contracts that assist our clients in achieving project goals.
