2007 Top Specialty Contractors
Challenges Facing Subs Include Labor, Material Costs,
and Better Understanding Green Building Initiatives.

Intermountain Contractor’s list of Top Specialty Contractors for 2007 was compiled via a survey that was sent out to specialty firms in Utah and Idaho. Every effort was made to contact each of the respective participating firms to ensure their revenue information is accurate. Contractors who did not disclose revenue information
were excluded from the rankings, even if they obviously
are one of the largest subs in the two-state Intermountain region. In future years, we encourage all specialty firms
to participate in our annual survey.

Construction Law

Contingent Payment Clauses – Does Your Contract Forfeit or Delay Payment?
In addition to being used to forfeit or delay progress and final payments, pay-if-paid
and pay-when-paid clauses may forfeit or delay payment for changes, delay damages, claims, etc. Regardless of the law, with competent legal advice, language can be
negotiated to lessen the risk of pay-if-paid or pay-when-paid clauses.
