Retained advisory on the questions that decide a construction or property matter: what is actually damaged, what the repair genuinely requires, and what it should cost. Clarity early, before positions harden and the file becomes a lawsuit.
Most construction and property disputes are decided by facts that are knowable early: the true scope of the damage, whether a repair is feasible, the sequencing it requires, and the defensible cost to do it correctly. I am retained to establish those facts and advise on them before the matter escalates.
This is advisory work, not testimony. I help counsel, carriers, and owners understand the building reality so they can make decisions from a position of knowledge. When a matter does proceed to litigation, that early groundwork carries directly into a disclosed opinion.
An independent read on what is damaged, what the repair requires, and what it should cost, built in Xactimate or Symbility.
Guidance on constructability, sequencing, and the right repair approach, grounded in how the building actually goes back together.
A clear, documented assessment that helps you decide how to proceed before the matter becomes contested.
Clarity is cheapest before the positions harden.
Counsel, carriers, building owners, and managers who need an independent building assessment to guide a decision before a matter becomes contested.
Available for retained and neutral assignments nationwide. Send the relevant documents and I will tell you where the evidence stands.
