Frequently Asked Questions

What types of construction law cases does your firm handle?

Burns & Hansen, P.A. handles construction law matters involving mechanic’s lien litigation, contract disputes, defect claims, and disagreements among contractors, subcontractors, material suppliers, or property owners.

What are common types of construction defects?

Common defects include faulty work, use of inferior materials, design flaws, structural issues, leaks, and failure to meet code or specification standards. We assess defects that affect safety, usability, or value, using expert evaluation to determine responsible parties and needed remedial action.

Can a construction contract include a waiver of lien rights?

Yes, contracts may include waiver provisions, but their enforceability depends on state law, proper drafting, and whether the waiver meets legal requirements. We review contracts to ensure any waiver of lien rights is valid under Minnesota statutes.

Does Burns & Hansen handle construction defect claims?

Yes. We represent clients in defect claims arising from construction defects. Our work includes evaluating damage, identifying liable parties, and pursuing remediation. We pursue quality outcomes by combining legal expertise and technical evidence to hold responsible parties accountable.

What are mechanics’ liens, and how do they work?

A mechanic’s lien is a legal claim securing payment for labor or materials supplied to a project. We assist contractors, suppliers, or owners to file or defend liens, ensure compliance with statutory procedures, and use liens as tools to enforce payment rights under construction law.
