Expert Witness

Construction failure litigation.

Using our 50+ years of experience as a guide, our experts investigate claims and issues, review and provide analysis of other expert reports or claims, and develop a proactive plan to solve issues before providing expert testimony at depositions, hearings, or trials.

Whether litigation, arbitration, or mediation, BEC is prepared to provide third-party evaluations of the construction issue from a building envelope perspective.

Although we hope it never happens, there are times when a situation escalates and requires legal action. Our experienced consultants have provided expert testimony in multiple states on a range of building envelope issues.
