Vancouver Construction Lawyers
Construction legal matters that involve tenders and procurement are complex. Documents are complicated. Attention should be paid to every detail and the paperwork must follow laws and regulations. At Lesperance Mendes, John Mendes — co-founder of our Vancouver law firm — oversees our construction defect practice group and represents clients in cases involving tenders and procurement.
Construction Tenders and Procurement
The process starts with a tender call, also known as a bid contract, issued and replied to by contractors. Various factors are considered in accepting a contractor's bid for construction services, including equipment age and onsite supervisor and trade contractor competency and experience. When a tender is accepted, a construction contract results.
At Lesperance Mendes, we help with the interpretation of construction, architectural and engineering procurement contracts, processes and related technical issues. Written documentation is important if future legal disputes and litigation arise because memories fade as, years later, the parties try to recall such issues as the contractual allocation of risk, and which party was responsible for paying for work and materials.
