For this week’s Guest Post Friday post here at Construction Law Musings, we welcome back Matt Bouchard. Matt is a partner with Lewis & Roberts, PLLC in Raleigh, North Carolina. For over ten years his practice has focused on representing the interests of contractors, sureties and owners in connection with commercial construction projects. You can follow his blog, “N.C. Construction Law, Policy & News.” You can also follow him on Twitter @MattBouchardEsq.
Final completion.
The ultimate milestone for any construction project. The date when the owner accepts the finished facility, assumes legal responsibility for the work and renders final payment to the contracting team that built it. An occasion for ribbon-cutting and photo opportunities, and perhaps for evaluating lessons learned. A time for moving on, maybe a little wearier, maybe a little wiser, and probably a bit of both.
