Construction Defect Expert: Protecting Owners, Developers, and Legal Teams
Construction defects are among the most complex and costly issues in the construction
industry. Whether affecting residential developments, commercial properties, or large-scale
projects, defects can result in significant financial losses, operational disruptions, safety
concerns, and prolonged legal disputes. Engaging a qualified construction defect expert is
often essential to properly identify defects, determine their cause, and support resolution
through negotiation, arbitration, or litigation.
What Is a Construction Defect?
A construction defect is a flaw or deficiency in a building or structure that reduces its
intended use, safety, or value. Defects may be patent (visible) or latent (hidden), with latent
defects often appearing years after completion.
Categories of construction defects include:
Design defects
Material defects
Workmanship defects
Subsurface or geotechnical defects
Role of a Construction Defect Expert
A construction defect expert provides independent analysis through site inspections,
document review, code analysis, repair scope development, cost estimating, and expert
reporting.
Importance of Objective and Defensible Analysis
Construction defect disputes often involve multiple parties. Experts must provide unbiased,
evidence-based conclusions supported by industry standards and clear documentation.
Construction Defect Experts in Litigation and Insurance Claims
Experts support pre-litigation evaluations, insurance claims, settlement discussions, and trial testimony.
Common Issues Identified by Construction Defect Experts
