For this week’s Guest Post Friday here at Musings, we welcome back Douglas Reiser. Doug (@douglasreiser) is a business attorney & LEED AP in Seattle, Washington. He is the principal at Reiser Legal PLLC, co-founder of ClaimKit, and editor of The Builders Counsel. Doug represents green businesses, green builders, contractors, organizations and craft brewers. His new venture, ClaimKit (formed with green building lawyer Chris Cheatham), solves construction file headaches for sureties, insurers, contractors and lawyers.
Many ages ago, I contributed to the Musings with a post about construction document management. Yep, an attorney taking the time to remind contractors that managing documents efficiently and electronically was smart and cheap.
I have contributed at least four articles to the Musings. There was an article on contractor UCC rights, one about green building certification and one about dispute resolution provisions for your construction contract. While useful, and certainly more legal focused, they weren’t my most important message. Smart documentation is that big message.
