Most construction litigation cases involve a building enclosure defect as the primary source of damage or as a result of another failed system or component. McGinnis Chen Associates, Inc. building enclosure breadth and depth of experience is complemented by a thorough understanding of the procedures involved in litigating defective building systems and components.

Our Construction Defect Litigation Support begins with a robust Building Enclosure Investigation Process.

We will provide necessary evaluation services and documentation, including Preliminary Defect Reports, Claims analyses, Remedial Construction Costs and Damages analyses, Allocations analyses, as well as develop a viable remedial design if necessary to correct any defect. Whether working for the plaintiff or the defendant, we provide the objective information required by attorneys and clients to realistically assess and litigate their case.
