Expert Witness for Poor Workmanship | Claim Against Contractor

Dissatisfied with Your Project's Outcome? Don't Settle.

You have invested time, money, and hope into a construction or renovation project, but the result is disappointing: poor finishes, lower quality materials than agreed, solutions that don't work, or outright construction defects. Before getting into an endless dispute, it is essential to have a solid technical argument.

An expert report for poor workmanship is an objective opinion that contrasts what was executed with what should have been done according to the contract, the budget, and good construction practice (lex artis).

What Do We Document in a Poor Workmanship Report?

Our job is to "audit" the work performed to give you a solid evidentiary basis. We focus on:

• Breach of Quality Standards: We verify if the materials and finishes correspond to the quality specifications or the accepted budget.
• Execution Defects: We identify and technically describe poorly executed work (incorrect slopes, defective tiling, deficient waterproofing, etc.).
• Regulatory Non-Compliance: We check if the adopted solutions comply with the Technical Building Code (CTE in Spain) and other mandatory regulations.
• Unexecuted Items: We verify if you have been charged for work that has not been carried out.

The Claim Process: Steps to Follow

With our report, the claim process is clearer and more effective:

1. Amicable Claim: The first step is to present the report to the contractor. A professional technical opinion is often enough for the company to agree to remedy the defects.
2. Mediation or Arbitration: If there is no agreement, the report serves as the technical basis for a mediation process.
3. Legal Action: In the worst-case scenario, our report becomes the key expert evidence for a lawsuit, and we will attend court to ratify it before the judge if necessary.

Don't argue without proof. Provide a technical report that speaks for you.
