Register of Contractors

When working in the construction industry in Arizona, you should be familiar with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, also known as the ROC. The ROC is responsible for investigating alleged construction violations across the state of Arizona. In fact, the ROC receives thousands of complaints each year. Any company investigated could be in jeopardy of losing their construction license.

 

What are Some Examples of ROC Disputes

An investigation by the ROC starts with the ROC receiving a complaint from a consumer. The ROC must then investigate the complaint, which could result in the revocation or suspension of your construction license. Any complaint brought against you will be brought to your attention. And when it does, always take it seriously and understand that your reputation is on the line. ROC disputes should never be taken on without the guidance of an experienced lawyer. The right lawyer will help protect your business during these disputes and will even look at the chance of settling any disputes outside of timely and costly court.

 

Common ROC disputes include terms not being met in contracts, finished projects not being up to standards, work was uncomplete, didn’t pay for supplies, violation of building codes, and lack of safety laws. There are many reasons for a complaint and in fact, almost anything can be brought to the ROC as a complaint. Your business needs to prove otherwise during a ROC dispute to protect your license and this can be done with the help of a lawyer.

 

Seeking Legal Advice and Representation

If you are presented with an investigation by the ROC, contact a construction law lawyer for advice to help you through the strenuous process. It is always beneficial to work with a lawyer during construction disputes, especially during ROC construction disputes. Lawyers with construction law experience know how to communicate with the ROC and handle disputes on your behalf, to alleviate stress. Your legal team will work aggressively to provide the correct documentation and offer any advice needed during the dispute. They will deal with the issue head on and won’t drag this out, saving you time and money. And since they are familiar with all of the Arizona construction laws, you know you will be in good hands.

 

It is crucial that your construction license has a good standing with the ROC and a construction law lawyer will help protect your business with the proper legal representation. They have the experience and knowledge to handle these cases where you could potentially face license suspension or revocation.

 

You never want to take on the ROC alone or address them without the proper legal representation. When the ROC receives a complaint from a consumer, the investigation starts. Example of common complaints received includes terms not being met in contracts, finished projects not being up to standards, uncompleted work, missed payment for supplies, violation of building codes, and lack of safety laws.
