Construction defects result from many factors, such as inadequate consideration of soils, failure to properly design or implement drainage and incorrect installation standards of building envelope components. All of these can result in structural, functional and/or cosmetic damage to a structure.Our consultants analyze causes and suggest solutions once defects are discovered or alleged. We are called upon at varying stages of the process and in varying capacities to assist in analyzing the problem and to determine if defective and deficient work actually exists. If it does, we can assist in determining the extent of the damages caused by the defective and deficient work and the cost of repairing or correcting that work.Don Harrington has more than 20 years of experience with construction defect claims.
