Overview
Construction defect consulting addresses disputes involving alleged deficiencies in the design, materials, workmanship, or systems of residential and commercial construction projects. MDT Expert Consulting provides access to licensed contractors, structural engineers, architects, and building envelope specialists who evaluate whether construction work met applicable plans, specifications, building codes, and industry standards in disputes involving water intrusion, structural failures, foundation defects, and systemic construction deficiencies.
Pre-Litigation Support
Before litigation, construction defect experts help counsel assess the nature, scope, and cause of alleged construction deficiencies. They conduct site inspections, review construction documents and plans, and evaluate repair estimates to determine whether reported defects are attributable to design errors, workmanship failures, or material deficiencies, and who in the construction chain bears responsibility.
Litigation Support
In litigation, construction defect experts assist in evaluating the technical basis for alleged defects, assessing the reasonableness of repair costs, and identifying the responsible parties in complex multi-trade disputes.
Arbitration Support
Construction defect experts in arbitration address disputes between owners, general contractors, subcontractors, and design professionals in a format well-suited to the technical complexity of construction claims.
