Why Standard Building Reports Get Thrown Out in Court

Courts and tribunals reject standard pre-purchase reports or builder quotes that lack formal acknowledgment of the Expert Witness Code, fail to cite statutory NCC clauses, or show partisan bias.

Expert Code of Conduct Compliance

Every report includes an explicit declaration acknowledging our paramount duty is to assist the court/tribunal impartially, overriding any obligation to the appointing party.

Scott Schedule Preparation

Itemized, tab-delimited legal schedules breaking down each defect by location, National Construction Code breach, causation, and estimated cost of rectification.

Joint Conclaves & Concurrent Evidence

Experienced representation in joint expert conferences ("hot-tubbing"), formulating joint expert reports to narrow issues in dispute and accelerate settlement.
