WAW recognizes that owners, architects, contractors, engineers, insurers and others in the construction industry face multiple liabilities for a single issue or event. .. Every project requires many legal decisions, including funding, land use, planning and architectural drafting, bidding and estimating, contract negotiation, drafting and actual construction, collection for completed work, and handling of defects or delays.
