• Lead forensic investigations involving architectural issues, building envelope failures, moisture intrusion, code compliance, life-safety considerations (as applicable), and design/construction standard-of-care disputes. • Conduct site inspections and evidence collection, including condition surveys, photo documentation, selective exploratory openings/destructive testing coordination (as required), and tracking of observed deficiencies. • Determine cause, origin, extent, and contributing factors, including evaluation of design intent, detailing, material selection, construction practices, quality control, commissioning/closeout documentation, and maintenance history. • Prepare independent, litigation-ready expert reports (and supporting exhibits) for arbitration, mediation, and court proceedings, addressing causation, standard of care, and responsibility. • Provide expert witness testimony in depositions, arbitration, and/or court, including testimony under cross-examination. • Collaborate with attorneys, insurers, owners, contractors, and other experts (architectural, structural, MEP, materials) to develop coordinated opinions and respond to opposing expert positions (including rebuttal reports as needed). • Support dispute strategy by clearly communicating technical findings, identifying evidentiary gaps, and preparing for expert meetings, joint statements, mediations, and hearings. • Advise clients on remediation options, risk mitigation, and repair program strategy, including constructability and sequencing considerations. • Review and analyze drawings, specifications, details, addenda, RFIs, submittals/shop drawings, change documentation, field reports, punch lists, and closeout materials to assess design intent and execution. • Evaluate compliance with applicable building codes and standards (e.g., IBC/NBC and applicable provincial/state amendments), as well as relevant industry standards and manufacturer requirements (e.g., ASTM as applicable).
