Florida’s construction industry is one of the most heavily regulated in the state. Multiple statutes, codes, and regulations, at both the state and municipal level impact every part of every business involved in construction, from material suppliers, to contractors and subcontractors, to design professionals, to owners and developers. New statutes and regulations affecting the industry are enacted each year. Dozens of court decisions interpreting those statutes, as well as the contracts that govern most projects, are also issued each year. The purpose of Hammer & Gavel is to bring that information to one central location and present it in plain English to those whose businesses depend on staying educated and information of the constantly changing legal landscape for the construction industry. Below is more information about the contributors to this blow who bring this information to you.
