disputes Resolution

Today, construction claims are almost as commonplace as construction itself. Public Owners, private developers, general contractors and specialty contractors whose projects have been subject to major design or performance problems have increasingly sought contractual, administrative or legal redress. Owners, contractors and their attorneys recognize the value that Warner, as an independent and internationally recognized construction expert, brings to the resolution of disputes.

Because disputes often proceed through the judicial process long after project completion, the task of “reconstruction” is most often complex and time-consuming, but, critical to an equitable outcome. Warner's experts carefully reconstruct every aspect of the performance of the project, reassembling all the data, including all pertinent construction documents, technical reports and cost records. We then prepare a comprehensive analysis and report, typically consisting of hundreds of pages of objective substantiation, documenting our findings and opinions.

Warner also provides a very unique form of dispute resolution service focused on on-going and troubled projects. For these projects, Warner mobilizes a team of specialists, with experience and expertise matched to the project’s needs, to identify and assess issues, develop pro-active solutions and prepare clear and persuasive documentation for use in later dispute resolution forums.

Our Disputes Resolution Group has gained a widespread reputation for meticulous documentation, accurate evaluation and concise, articulate presentation. Our senior staff serve as expert witnesses in identifying and quantifying periods of delay and impact, as well as, resulting damages. We have been accepted by many courts and boards as competent, qualified and credible expert witnesses.
