Construction Defects
VERTEX assists insurers and insured parties in the management of construction defect claims. We investigate the nature and extent of damage caused by substandard work, design and material deficiencies, and geotechnical problems. We evaluate plaintiff declarations to determine if costs are reasonable. We help our clients assess responsibility and assign liability. VERTEX has experience surveying building envelope conditions, as well as more complex commercial and industrial construction predicaments.
