Construction defects
Disputes alleging poor workmanship and sub-standard construction can occur.
Noted construction and premises deficiencies, or a lack thereof, can be clearly documented, minimizing costs and delays, and allowing the parties' time and energy to return to more productive efforts. A professional opinion of the matter is always provided. |
Premises Liability - Personal Injury
Extensive experience in facility management and architectural engineering design provides a unique perspective of the issues that occur in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of buildings and facilities.
From slip, trip, and fall incidents to disputes involving violations of building codes, ADA, and other standards, documentation of any material deficiencies can be made. Premises liability assessments and investigations may include safety of walkways, floors, parking lots, decks, ramps, handrails, guards, stairs/steps, and other components of the built environment. |
Insurance Claims
Insurance claim reviews may include assessments and investigations of fire, flood, water loss, wind, and hail damage, as well as for preexisting structural damage and deterioration.
A diligent effort is made to carefully but quickly turn around claim reviews, providing a realistic assessment of potential building damage and loss. |
