Expert Witness / Dispute Resolution

Expert Witness Testimony
We provide clear, credible, and objective expert testimony in legal proceedings, arbitration, or mediation. Our experts are seasoned in construction management, cost analysis, scheduling, and industry standards, offering authoritative insights that support legal strategy.

Claims Analysis & Evaluation
We analyze claims related to schedule delays, cost escalations, scope changes, design errors, or construction defects. Our team reviews contracts, correspondence, and project records to determine the legitimacy and potential exposure of each claim.

Construction Delay & Schedule Impact Analysis
We conduct forensic schedule analysis to evaluate the causes and extent of delays, assess critical path disruptions, and allocate responsibility between parties using recognized methods (e.g., Time Impact Analysis or As-Planned vs. As-Built).

Cost Overrun Investigation
We examine the root causes of cost escalations and budget overruns, including errors in cost estimating, change order impacts, or contractor performance. Our findings are presented in detailed, supportable reports.

Standard of Care Analysis
We evaluate whether project participants—such as architects, contractors, or owners—performed their duties in accordance with accepted industry standards and contractual obligations.

Construction Defect Analysis
We assess construction deficiencies, material failures, or workmanship issues, and determine the origin, responsibility, and cost to remedy. We also assist in quantifying damages for legal or insurance claims.

Contract Dispute Support
We assist in interpreting contract provisions, identifying breaches, and evaluating the impact of misinterpretation or non-compliance. Our work supports legal teams in resolving disputes over scope, deliverables, or payment terms.

Mediation & Arbitration Support
We support legal counsel or act as independent third-party neutrals in mediation or arbitration proceedings. Our involvement helps clarify technical issues, reduce adversarial posturing, and facilitate equitable resolutions.

Change Order Disputes & Analysis
We provide independent assessments of disputed change orders, evaluating scope, pricing, entitlement, and impact. We also examine documentation and project records to support or refute claims.

Termination & Default Evaluations
We assist in analyzing justifications for project termination, contractor defaults, or removal for cause. Our assessments include compliance review, performance history, and contract provisions to support defensible decisions.

Insurance & Surety Claim Support
We support insurers and sureties with detailed technical reviews of claims related to builder’s risk, general liability, or performance bonds. Our team helps determine legitimacy and exposure while supporting claim resolution.

Construction Documentation Review
We review project documentation—including daily reports, RFIs, meeting minutes, pay apps, and submittals—to develop timelines, establish facts, and identify patterns relevant to the dispute.

Independent Project Audits
We perform third-party audits of troubled or disputed projects to assess current status, causes of disruption, quality concerns, and potential resolutions. Our findings provide a path forward for all stakeholders.

Settlement Negotiation Support
We assist clients in preparing for settlement discussions, offering expert insight into risk exposure, cost implications, and potential outcomes. Our involvement helps achieve fair and well-informed resolutions.
