Why Legal Counsel Matters in Florida Construction Projects

Construction projects involve high-value contracts, tight timelines, and multiple moving parts. Without the right legal guidance, disputes can quickly threaten your investment and stall your project.

Florida’s construction laws—especially Chapter 713 of the Florida Statutes—set strict rules on mechanics liens, payments, and contractor rights. Missing a deadline or filing error can mean losing your right to payment or facing costly penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

In Florida, contractors and subcontractors must file a mechanic’s lien within 90 days of the last day of work or supplying materials. The lien must also be recorded in the county where the property is located and served on the property owner within 15 days of recording.

Missing these deadlines can invalidate your lien. Our Tampa construction attorney can ensure your lien follows Florida’s strict rules to protect your right to payment.

A mechanic’s lien gives contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers the right to secure payment for work completed or materials supplied. Under Florida law (Chapter 713), strict deadlines apply for filing and enforcing liens.

Our Tampa construction attorney ensures your lien is filed correctly, served on time, and enforced properly—so you don’t lose your right to payment.

Common construction defects in Florida include water intrusion, foundation issues, improper roofing, and code violations. These can be due to poor workmanship, design flaws, or defective materials.

Our construction law attorney can help identify liability, document the issue, and pursue legal action to recover repair costs or damages—before the statute of limitations runs out.

If you’re facing a payment dispute, a construction attorney can help you send a demand letter, file a mechanic’s lien, or take legal action. Most Tampa disputes can be resolved quickly through negotiation or mediation.

Our construction law attorney can represent you in litigation to recover what you’re owed under the contract.

Foreclosing on a mechanic’s lien is a legal process to force the sale of the property to pay outstanding debts. In Florida, lien foreclosure lawsuits must be filed within one year after the lien is recorded.

Southron Firm, P.A. helps Tampa contractors and subcontractors initiate and manage lien foreclosures to recover what they are owed efficiently and legally.
