The Key to Expert Assessment in Public Procurement
A public works project is not just an engineering challenge but also a complex administrative process. The Public Sector Contracts Law and technical specifications establish a strict framework where any deviation, modification, or conflict requires impeccable technical justification. An expert report is the fundamental tool that brings objectivity and technical rigor to this context.
Our team of experts acts as a technical-legal translator, analyzing the situation to determine if actions comply with the project, regulations, and construction best practices. A solid assessment is the best defense against claims and the guarantee for project viability.
Our Methodology in Infrastructure Projects
We approach each case with a methodical process that ensures maximum reliability in our conclusions. Beyond simple inspection, our work focuses on connecting observed facts with project documentation and the applicable regulatory framework.
- Comprehensive Document Analysis: We delve into the construction project, specifications, records, and all technical correspondence to understand the complete context.
- Technical Inspection and Data Collection: We conduct field visits to document the work's reality, performing measurements and tests if necessary.
- Technical-Regulatory Analysis: We compare findings with contract specifications and current sector regulations to identify deviations and responsibilities.
- Report Preparation: We capture all analysis in a clear expert report, with well-founded conclusions, precise economic assessments, and supporting graphic material.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about Public Works Expert Reports
When is an expert report necessary in public works?
An expert report is crucial during disputes over project modifications, economic claims for cost overruns or delays, construction defects detected before or after work reception, or as part of a preventive quality audit.
What distinguishes a public works expert?
A public works expert possesses deep knowledge of the Public Sector Contracts Law, general technical specifications (PG-3, etc.), and specific infrastructure regulations (road, hydraulic, etc.), which is very different from residential building regulations (CTE).
Can you help us in a dispute with Public Administration?
Yes. Our role is to provide an objective and independent technical assessment that serves as solid evidence in administrative procedures, contentious-administrative proceedings, or claims before the Administration itself. The expert report translates technical complexity into defensible arguments.
Do you perform counter-reports of Administration-issued reports?
Yes. One of our regular functions is analyzing technical reports issued by the work management or the Administration itself and, if appropriate, preparing a counter-report that refutes, qualifies, or complements initial conclusions with new data and analyses.
