The issue of Construction Design and Failure analysis requires a comprehensive understanding of all the potential issues involved:
Construction Defect Analysis – What caused the problem with the structure; how badly damaged is it; is it safe; does it comply with the code?
Construction Site Safety – Were OSHA regulations and proper safety procedures being followed? Did defective design, materials or equipment play a factor?
Access to Buildings & Facilities / Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – Safe access to buildings and facilities is not only important, it is the law! Do you have questions about construction or maintenance of walking surfaces, ramps, curb ramps, stairs, parking spaces, passenger loading zones, or other accessible features?
Construction Claims / Dispute Resolution – Project delays, cost overruns, disagreements on change order pricing, untimely decisions, poorly worded contract documents, or inadequate or incorrect design can result in claims and counter-claims between Owners, Designers, Construction Managers and Contractors.
