Expert Witness Testimony & Consultation

HCG can provide expert witness services as professionals who specializes in the design, construction, and performance of the building envelope—essentially, the outer shell or “skin” of a building, including the walls, roof, windows, doors, and foundation. Our role as an expert witness is to provide specialized knowledge and testimony in legal cases related to building envelope issues.

Specialized Knowledge of Building Envelope Issues

Services include:

  • Assessing Construction Defects: Identifying and analyzing issues like water leakage, thermal insulation problems, or other deficiencies within the building envelope.
  • Providing Expert Opinions: Offering professional testimony in court about the cause and extent of damage, or the correctness of construction practices related to the building’s envelope.
  • Investigating Building Failures: In cases where a building has failed (e.g., water intrusion, energy inefficiency), we help determine if the building envelope was improperly constructed or designed.
  • Reviewing Compliance with Codes and Standards: Examining whether construction materials and methods adhere to relevant building codes, standards, and regulations.
  • Offering Design Recommendations: Suggesting design or remediation changes to address any problems with the building envelope.
  • Preparing Reports and Documentation: Writing detailed reports and providing clear documentation to support their findings and opinions in court.

HCG can be involved in cases related to construction disputes, property damage, insurance claims, or personal injury cases where building envelope failures played a role.
