A termination for cause is when a construction business is terminated for failing to execute their contract. When a termination for cause is in play, typically, the issue giving rise to the termination is serious. Small or inconsequential missteps won’t typically result in a termination for cause. Instead, these terminations are usually reserved for substantial issues and repeated shortcomings. Plus, the terms of a contract will set out exactly how the termination will occur, as well as what events would even justify the termination.
