Construction Defect Litigation and Insurance Claims
Building Envelope: Windows, Doors, and Wall Systems
The construction industry will invariably have defect claims brought forth to insurance carriers and we are here to help you navigate through this complex and trying process.
Since 1988 our fully accredited laboratory has been testing, inspecting, and investigating windows, doors, and walls throughout the country. With decades of experience in our corner there are few issues that we have not seen as it relates to a building’s wall envelope. With that experience and background we are able to quickly analyze the claims you are facing and then begin immediately working on providing solutions to assist in resolving the matter.
One of the things we pride ourselves on is our unique ability to take a highly technical issue and explain it in a manner to individuals, who do not possess that same level of technical expertise, so that it makes sense to them; something that is not so easily found in this niche trade.
