Price

What drives the cost of construction law in Memphis

  • Fee structure: flat fee for contract review, hourly for disputes and litigation
  • Size of the project and the amount in dispute
  • Number of parties: owner, general contractor, subcontractors, suppliers
  • Need for expert inspections or cost estimates
  • Whether the matter settles or goes to trial or arbitration
  • Filing and recording costs, separate from attorney fees
  • The age of the home: the typical Memphis home was built around 1956, so older materials, lead-safe rules and hidden damage can add time

Before you hire in Memphis

Lead-safe work rules apply to most homes

The typical home in Memphis was built around 1956. Painting, window, siding and remodeling work that disturbs paint in homes built before 1978 must follow the EPA lead-safe (RRP) rule. Ask any contractor for their RRP certification before work starts.

Older plumbing and sewer lines

59% of homes here were built before 1960, when cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals and galvanized supply pipe were standard. A sewer camera inspection before buying or remodeling is cheap insurance.

Permits: check with the Memphis building department before work starts.
