Expert witness, defect claims & building disputes

Expert Witness appointments and Expert reporting are typically required when a building or structure has fallen in to disrepair and a dispute over liability, condition or quality exists. 

These matters are often apart of a civil litigation claim or directed under Court Order. It is therefore imperative the advice and assistance you receive from a Chartered Surveyor is accurate and concise to assist you in these matters.

We offer a designated Expert Witness service for Part 25/35 CPR Compliant reporting, standard defect reporting, Valuation dispute, advocation and direction with ongoing building disputes, defects claims and new build warranty disputes. 

Defect Claims arise when building defects, workmanship failures or hidden condition issues come to light after a property has been purchased, completed or handed over. 

Claims may be brought against builders, contractors, vendors, warranty providers or insurers — and the strength of the case typically rests on the quality of the technical investigation and reporting behind it.

Diagnosing what is actually wrong, rather than what is commonly assumed, is often the difference between a successful claim and a costly stalemate. Our defect reporting is written to evidential standards from the outset, so it remains usable should proceedings need to be issued.
