Identifying building, health and safety code violations requires a deep understanding at the local level, as each community has its own unique codes and standards for enforcement.

The issue of Standard of Care is a simple yet important concept that is complex to prove in the real world of residential and commercial construction cases and disputes. Not merely a question of general industry and materials standards, the matrix of issues involves building codes, extreme project conditions, budgets, timelines, and contract requirements, to name only a few. Both technical expertise and real-world working knowledge are used to evaluate professional standards in construction litigation.
