Most NM contractors are one bad contract away from serious trouble.

You're running projects, managing crews, and chasing payments. The last thing you have time for is reading the fine print. But that fine print is where you lose.

Payment Traps

Pay-if-paid clauses, improper lien waivers, and missing notice provisions mean you do the work but can't collect. The NM Prompt Payment Act gives you powerful tools — if your contracts don't waive them.

License Risk

CID enforcement actions can suspend or revoke your license, fine you thousands, and shut down your ability to bid on work. A typical defense costs $15,000–$30,000 in fees and lost revenue.

Indemnity Landmines

Broad-form indemnity clauses can make you liable for losses that aren't your fault. New Mexico's anti-indemnity statute limits some of this — but only if your contracts are drafted to take advantage of it.

Flat fees. Fixed scope. No surprises.

You know the cost before we start — the same way you bid your projects.
