Overview
New Mexico has extensive and complex statutory and regulatory requirements that apply to most aspects of construction and design work in the State. Construction and design professionals, including engineers, architects, other design professionals, general contractors, subcontractors, and surveyors, are each covered by separate licensing requirements and regulations. New Mexico also has State-specific statutes and regulations establishing requirements for bonding, procurement bids and protests, indemnification restrictions, liens, collection against bonds on public works projects, and special lender considerations for construction loans, among other special laws. Our lawyers are well-versed and experienced in assisting the full range of construction industry participants with these requirements and with resolving construction and design-related disputes that often arise.
