In the construction industry, payment delays from project owners are a common challenge for general contractors, design-builders, and construction managers. This situation often leaves trade subcontractors without timely payments for their contracts or extra work they have completed. Erica brings expertise in enforcing payment rights via mechanic’s liens, stop payment notices, and payment bonds. The primary objective is clear: to maximize recovery by promoting early resolutions and swift collections.

Participants in construction projects often face financial strain and operational challenges due to delays, design errors, inefficiencies, and various other complications. Erica plays a vital role in addressing these issues by identifying the key questions to ask and the crucial information needed. Her approach not only alleviates client worries, but also helps manage disputes effectively and speeds up the resolution process.

FEDERAL PROCUREMENT AND CLAIMS

Navigating the federal construction landscape presents significant challenges for prime contractors and subcontractors due to its strict regulations.

She also carefully evaluates potential requests for equitable adjustments, always striving to ensure the project is completed successfully.
