Construction Law & Related Matters

Experienced Legal Counsel for Colorado's Mountain Communities

Construction projects in Colorado's mountain communities present unique legal and practical challenges, including difficult building conditions, seasonal constraints, contractual disputes, construction defects, and local development requirements. With more than 35 years of legal experience in mountain communities, Wallace Law LLC represents property owners, contractors, builders, developers, businesses, and homeowners associations in residential and commercial construction matters.

Our construction law practice includes drafting and negotiating construction contracts, addressing construction defects, payment disputes, mechanic's liens, warranty claims, project delays, and disputes involving contractors, subcontractors, architects, and other construction professionals. We represent clients in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and litigation arising from construction projects.

Separate from the contractual and legal issues involved in construction itself, projects within common interest communities may be subject to additional obligations under HOA governing documents, architectural guidelines, and design review procedures. We advise property owners, contractors, and associations regarding these requirements, including obtaining necessary approvals, interpreting construction restrictions, and resolving disputes involving architectural review and association enforcement.

Founder Kerry H. Wallace brings decades of experience in construction law, contract negotiation, and civil litigation. Our litigation experience provides valuable insight into drafting enforceable contracts, protecting clients' rights, anticipating potential disputes, and establishing effective procedures for dispute resolution.
Our longstanding involvement in Colorado's mountain communities provides a practical understanding of the challenges associated with resort properties, condominium developments, residential construction, renovations, and complex mountain building projects.
