Article Abstract:
Legal disputes may arise over project scheduling and coordination with projects involving multiple prime contractors and resolving this issue depend both on contract language and what the state law says about conflict between parties that are not in contractual privity. The case of the Everman's Electric Co. v. Evan Johnson & Sons Construction Inc. and W.G. Yates Construction Company Inc. is discussed as an example.
