The Best Representation for Your Most Important Asset
Even a qualified attorney can only do so much to argue your construction defect case by themselves. That's why we incorporate direct evidence from independent experts to ensure your case immediately has an edge in negotiations and recoveries. On your behalf, we'll quickly recommend and retain the right expert to define the claim scope of work, estimate the time required for repairs, and estimate anticipated costs.
Who makes an ideal expert for construction defect cases? Professionals with experience on previous cases or from within industry organizations such as the California Association of Community Managers (CACM), Community Associations Institute (CAI), or Executive Counsel of Homeowners (ECHO).

We’ll work closely with them to:
Identify the nature and extent of the violations of statutory (CA Civ. C. 896) building standards, deviation from plans or construction industry standards, improper building materials or products, or building code violations.
Determine the possible causes of any problems. We approach this task by reviewing original design and construction documents, referring to the building codes and industry standards, and consulting residential standards.
Recommend repair options and source professionals to make them.
