Land
development and building construction involves many contractual agreements and
compliance with a range of federal, state, and local land-development laws.
Disputes are common in areas including construction financing, subcontractor
agreements, insurance claims, worker injury, construction defects, and OSHA (Occupational
Safety and Health Administration) compliance.
Local development agencies may review plans to
make sure they conform to applicable codes, which may dictate the height,
appearance, and size of buildings in a particular location. Development of a
property may also require the preservation of historic structures or
environmental features on the property.
