Not legal advice. Evidence organization + record structuring only.
Contractors & Construction Disputes
Change orders, draws, delays, defects — these fights are won on documentation. We turn messy project records into a clean, source-traceable story you can use for negotiation, insurance, mediation, or attorney handoff.
Scope-locked. Confidential handling. Built on Truth-in-Motion™ verification.
The Real Reason These Disputes Get Ugly
“He said / she said” becomes date-stamped sequence
Clear, audit-traceable timeline replaces verbal disputes.
“We never approved that” becomes change order map
Every approval, denial, or implied change mapped to source.
“You didn’t pay” becomes unpaid vs disputed ledger
Payments, disputes, and gaps tracked for clarity.
This Helps Both Sides Move Faster (and Stop Bleeding Time)
For Owners / Homeowners / Investors
What you need: a clear record of scope, defects, timelines, and notice history.
What you get: a structured packet that supports negotiation, insurance claims, mediation, or attorney review without scrambling.
For Contractors / Subs / Suppliers
What you need: proof of scope, approvals, completion milestones, and payment history.
What you get: a defensible record to support collections, disputes over change orders, and clean handoff to counsel if needed.
If you can’t show it cleanly, it didn’t happen (to the adjuster, mediator, or judge).
What We Build (Deliverables)
- Project timeline + communications log (texts/emails/photos → dated sequence)
- Invoice / PO / payment ledger (unpaid vs disputed, by line item when possible)
- Change order map (approved / unapproved / implied with supporting sources)
- Defect packet (photo index + location + dates + who notified when)
- Demand-ready packet for negotiation/insurance/mediation (facts + exhibits, not legal claims)
- Gaps + missing items list (what you need to locate to close the loop)
Every key point is tied to materials you provide (and identified public sources when applicable).
Packages & Add-Ons
Choose the Right Support
BuildProof Pack™
Best for: disputes where you need the full story structured fast. Includes: timeline + comms log, ledger, change order map, defect packet (if applicable), demand-ready packet structure.
Lien-Ready Evidence Packet™ (Structure Only)
Best for: preparing a lien record packet for client or attorney filing. Includes: parties/property info sheet, dates table (work performed / last furnished), document checklist + missing items, exhibits bundled for filing.
Record prep only. CaseReady does not file liens and does not provide legal advice. Filing decisions belong to you/your attorney.
Add-On: Estimate & Scope Review Check (Document-Based)
Sometimes the dispute starts before the first hammer swing: the estimate doesn’t match the scope, line items are vague, allowances are undefined, or change orders are being used like a blank check.
- Compare estimate/proposal to contract, scope notes, and invoices
- Flag missing scope definitions, vague allowances, and change-order triggers
- Identify duplicate charges, unexplained line items, and mismatch patterns
- Produce a clean “questions + gaps” checklist you can take back to the contractor, adjuster, or attorney
What it is NOT (clear boundary):
Not a site inspection
Not an engineering opinion
Not a code compliance determination
Not legal advice
Want an estimate check before the dispute grows? Book a Case Direction Call and request the add-on.
What to Have Ready (If You Can)
- Contract / proposal / estimate + any revisions
- Change orders (approved or disputed)
- Invoices, payment proofs, draw schedule (if any)
- Photos/videos (dated if possible)
- Texts/emails with key decisions, approvals, disputes
- Punch list / inspection notes (if applicable)

Don’t worry if it’s messy. Upload what you have — we structure it.

Boundaries + Scope Lock
CaseReady is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. We organize records, build evidence structure, and produce source-traceable packets. We do not tell you what to file, what claims to assert, or how a court will rule.
Scope lock: Work is limited to the purchased package unless expanded by written change order (T-04).
