Protection of Profits When the Job Changes
It is virtually impossible to construct a project without some form of change. Everyone on the job knows that change is inevitable on construction projects. Changes in the job also frequently change what the job costs and how long it will take to complete. These changes typically lay the foundation to construction claims and requests for equitable adjustments (REAs). The right approach to project changes and change orders is crucial in ensuring that you protect your right to compensation for the work you provide.

When the inevitable happens, contact an attorney who has a thorough understanding of the construction business. Call Herrig & Vogt in Sacramento, San Luis Obispo or Los Angeles, California or our Washington offices in Kennewick and Redmond.
