Legal Question in Construction Law in California

Re: Obtaining documents from contractor

You don't indicate whether the contract is "fixed price" or "cost plus" or "time and material" or what. Further, you don't indicate whether the contractor has completed the project, is still working on it, or has abandoned the work. All of these factors meed to be known in order to provide a reasoned response. I recommend that you talk to a local attorney who knows construction law.

Best of luck!!!

Sure, you get a court order after you sue him and propound discovery to him that he refuses.

You should have a local attorney review the contract. If it was a lump sum contract, you aren't necessarily entitled to an accounting.
