Construction Defects

"It's all about damages."

Our work on construction defect cases takes on many different forms. For example, we perform defect identification and correction, along with expert services in defect mediation, arbitration and litigation. We work for both plaintiff and defendant in the preparation of, and defense against, defect claims. A large segment of our work involves water intrusion and other issues in these architectural areas.

• Exterior and interior building envelope
• Waterproof integrity of the structure
• Roofs
• Exterior finishes
• Interior finishes
• Below grade waterproofing
• Coordination of other experts and the overall investigation

Our services include:

• Consultation with clients and client's agents
• Performing field investigations
• Reviewing related documents
• Researching technical literature
• Preparation of report/repair/recommendations
• Prepare for, attend, and review depositions
• Prepare for and attend settlement conferences and mediations
• Prepare for and provide testimony at trial
• Other assignments assigned by client
• Meet and interface with the cost and repair expert and other experts (architect, etc.)

A significant portion of our practice has been associated with determinations of whether damage claims resulted directly from the insured’s defective workmanship or from consequential causes.
