Additional Information

Mr. Jazayeri holds a Master of Science Degree in Construction Engineering and Management from the University of California at Berkeley and a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he graduated with honors. He is also a licensed professional engineer and a licensed contractor in California since 1983. In addition, he became a LEED AP accredited professional in 2009. I have more than 37 years experience in the construction industry as a general contractor, construction manager, and claims consultant. I have constructed many types of structures including office buildings, hospitals, tenant improvements, schools, hotels, custom homes, multifamily residential units, and public works projects. Since 1990, I have tetified as an expert witness on a diverse variety of projects in courts, arbitrations, and mediations. I have extensive experience in providing litigation support to attorneys during discovery and trial preparation. I have excellent communication skills that allows me to explain complex technical issues in laymen terms that are easily understood by both my clients and the triers of facts. Although for most of my career I acted both as a contractor and a construction consultant, recently, I have limited my practice to claims consulting only. My services include delay analysis, evaluation of disputed extra work, review of standard of care issues, opining on performance, cost analysis, construction management issues, and claims preparation and analysis. I have consulted on behalf of owners, architects, engineers, general contractors, subcontractors, and insurance companies. I serve clients in all of the California area.
