Indianapolis Construction Lawyers
A construction dispute is rarely just between two parties. When a payment stalls or a job goes bad, it works its way through the whole chain, owner to GC, GC to sub, sub to supplier. Fugate Gangstad Lowe represents clients at every one of those levels in the Indianapolis area.
Who We Represent
General contractors, subcontractors, owners and developers, suppliers, and vendors. We’ve handled cases from every position, which means when we take yours, we already have a good sense of what the other side is going to argue and where they’re vulnerable.
Getting Paid
Money is usually what these cases come down to. Non-payment, slow pay, change orders that were performed but never properly approved, delay damages when the schedule blew up and it wasn’t your fault. We also defend against the reverse, when another party is trying to make their losses your problem.
When The Work Isn’t Good Enough
Performance defaults have a way of rolling downhill or uphill until they land on whoever’s least able to absorb them. We litigate those, handle pass-through claims on both ends, and enforce indemnity and defense provisions where a contract calls for them.
Mechanic’s Liens
A mechanic’s lien can be the difference between collecting and writing off a loss, but the statute sets hard deadlines for recording and notice, and missing one is usually fatal to the lien. We file them, foreclose on them, and defend against them for contractors, subs, suppliers, and owners.
How We Work
Some of these resolve in a few letters. Some don’t resolve until trial. We’re honest early about which kind we think you’ve got, and we don’t run up a fight that costs more than the case is worth.
