Additional Information

As a seasoned construction defect consultant, expert witness (over 16 trial appearances, 77 depositions completed) and licensed California General Contractor, I bridge the gap between complex technical issues and effective legal strategies. I work closely with legal teams, from initial site inspections and deposition support to providing compelling expert testimony in trials. My focus is on identifying and resolving critical property structure issues, including moisture intrusion, fenestration problems, structural damage, and structural failure. My approach is rooted in a deep understanding of construction processes, honed through years of hands-on experience managing diverse projects. This allows me to accurately develop scopes of repair, estimate costs with precision (using both proprietary and CSI methods), and navigate the intricacies of construction defect loss settlement. I'm adept at supervising construction crews, managing bid packages and contracts, and providing comprehensive cost analysis and CPM scheduling. Change order management, including RFI and RFP generation, is another key area of my expertise. My ability to effectively supervise large teams and manage complex schedules across commercial, hospitality, multi-unit residential, and other construction sectors makes me a uniquely qualified partner. Key Skills: Construction Defect Analysis, Expert Witness Services, Cost Estimating (Proprietary & CSI, Xactimate), Scope of Repair Development, Project Management, CPM Scheduling, Change Order Management, Insurance Loss Analysis, Stakeholder Communication.
