We can provide free phone consultation, and fast free online review of plans, contracts, conditions and defects. We can also perform site inspections in California and anywhere in the US, followed by expert analysis*, preparation of reports for both superior and federal court requirements, arbitration, deposition and trial testimony.
*That analysis can include laboratory testing of materials, forensic investigation of labor costs, including sub contractor performance, delay costs, code and permit compliance. -
