What is a Building Expert Witness?

A Building Expert Witness inspector is a highly qualified professional with extensive experience in the construction and building industry. Their role is to provide unbiased, expert opinion and testimony in disputes relating to construction matter. This includes issues like construction defects, buildings not built to Code, and using the Standard & Tolerances as a guide in identifying defects.
