School Construction & Real Estate Acquisitions

The realities of school expansion and consolidation concern every school district at some point. Doster Guin real estate attorneys are available to help schools handle their physical structures and facilities requirements from acquiring new real estate and construction of new school buildings to disposing of real property. School construction presents a range of potential issues such as obtaining the necessary permits through the city, drawing up ballot propositions to garner public approval, planning for transportation requirements, hiring contractors and subcontractors, reviewing contracts and settling disputes.

After a facility has been built, our lawyers can help review purchase orders and lease agreements for school equipment, handle any construction defect issues, and resolve disputes. Our expertise in real estate law combined with our thorough understanding of the broader educational picture enables us to provide appropriate solutions to a district's facilities initiatives.

• School construction
