Flat-fee construction contract services for New Mexico contractors
Construction Agreements Made Easy
Matthew J. Bouillon Mascareñas is a New Mexico construction lawyer dedicated to one thing: making your agreements work as hard as you do. The firm provides flat-fee construction contract drafting and review for New Mexico general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and trade contractors — the subcontracts, change order procedures, lien waivers, and PO terms your business runs on every day. Every engagement is a fixed price. You know the cost before we start, just like the bids you give your own clients.
Most contractors we work with are operating on agreements they inherited, downloaded, or signed without reading. Those documents were never written to protect a contractor working in New Mexico in 2026. They were written to protect someone else–usually the owner sitting across the table. We fix that.
Our clients are GB-2 and GB-98 licensees, mechanical and electrical subs, plumbing contractors, and specialty tradesmen across the state. We understand the margins you operate on, the regulatory environment you navigate, and the disputes that cost you money when your paperwork falls short. Every construction contract review we perform is informed by real litigation experience in civil lawsuits and before the Construction Industries Division. When we write your change order clause or your indemnification language, it is written by a New Mexico construction lawyer with your specific business in mind.
We offer three service packages–a diagnostic review for contractors who want to know where they stand, a complete contract suite rebuild for contractors ready to replace what isn’t working, and an annual retainer for clients who want their documents to stay current as New Mexico law evolves. Every package includes a written Contract Health Report and a strategy call so you understand not just what we changed, but why.
If your contracts haven’t been reviewed by an attorney who understands construction, they’re probably costing you money right now. Schedule a free 15-minute call and we’ll tell you whether we can help–and if we can’t, we’ll tell you that too.
