Construction Defects is a major field of study and work for construction and architecture expert witnesses and consultants. Construction accidents, building codes, commercial construction, and construction safety are just a few of the issues such consultants may address in the legal realm. A quality consultant can be key to proposing repairs and settling legal issues outside of the court system, if desired. A construction defects consultant could be called upon as part of the quality control process in an attempt to avoid legal issues altogether in the first place. They may consult on building envelope or foundation difficulties as well as workmanship standards. At trial or deposition, they may testify to standards, costs, materials, methodology, specifications, damage, and liability. Personal injury cases, slip and falls, and other accident investigations fall under the expertise of a construction defects expert witness or consultant. They can offer technical construction assistance throughout all stages of the legal process.

An expert witness or consultant in the Architecture & Structural Design field is often a highly specialized, well credentialed individual. As consultants, their services may include such a diverse range as site reviews, building design, adherence to building codes, construction management, renderings, even budget and interior design services. Building ordinances and codes at multiple levels of government are frequently convoluted and even conflicting. An expert in architecture and structural design can distill these issues and many others for lawyers, judges, mediators, and insurance representatives working on related legal cases as well as construction attorneys, general contractors, and others overseeing projects. Such an individual can testify or consult on structural failures, subpar workmanship, contracts, and other building related issues.
