Industry Specific Contracts As a member of the Lakeshore Home Builders Association, you have access to a wide variety of contracts. These powerful contracts were initially developed in 1998 by a member attorney and a select group of builders. They have stood the test of time and litigation. The contracts have recently been revised to reflect the most current construction laws and codes. They not only protect the builder but are also a valuable communication tool for your client by helping to clarify expectations and avoid misunderstandings for both parties.
