Building Savvy Bottom Line

Having represented both builders and property owners, Attorney Matthew Motes brings a balanced perspective to construction law. He emphasizes that avoiding disputes often comes down to the “devil in the details” of your builder contract. In this episode, he unpacks key topics including the benefits of arbitration, Cost-Plus versus Fixed Fee payment structures, the Texas Trust Funds Act, structural warranties, homeowner maintenance obligations, builder insurance policies, and subcontractor agreements. Clear communication and upfront alignment on expectations are essential—because the more both parties understand the process, the smoother the experience will be.
