What is the swimming pool expert witness 's inspection process for a construction defects claim?
The expert will want to collect as much information as possible regarding your case. Armed with as much information as possible, will allow them to make an informed opinion as to the state and condition of the project.
Review of the Documents
Review and analyze everything that is known...
A comparison of what was actually constructed as compared to what was contracted for and what was officially approved for construction by the governing agencies.
The report will identify the visible defects. The deficiencies will be digitally photographed and documented.
Each construction defect will be identified. The supporting building code, law, manufacturers instructions, trade standard, industry guideline or accepted method will be cited.
The codes, standards, ordinances or other applicable statutes will be cited - to validate the findings.
A digital catalog of the defects will be cross referenced with the defects list.
Recommendations for additional testing or inspections by specialized experts may be made. The justification for the additional work will be stated.
Once the report has been provided to the client, it is up to the client and their legal adviser as to how they desire to proceed.
