Construction Defect Investigation & Litigation Support
As construction investigators, we combine practical field experience together with technical abilities resulting in a cost-effective approach to our clients. Our approach is to thoroughly examine and define building defects by determining whether the defect is the result of substandard workmanship, a violation of applicable codes and standards, a departure from approved plans and specifications or is a manufacturer or design deficiency. Once the defect has been identified in this manner, a methodology of repair and cost estimates can be developed.
As professional expert witnesses, armed with our professional and technical credentials as well as our unique investigative approach to building defect, we can deliver to our clients the best results through the process of negotiation, arbitration, mediation, and if necessary, litigation.
