VERTEX’s demolition and abatement expert witnesses are knowledgeable in various forms of environmental, engineering and construction because familiarity with the design aspects and regulated building materials of a structure before carrying out a demolition is critical. Understanding the structural details of a building is especially important when the structure houses hazardous waste, oil and gas, hazardous chemicals, asbestos, explosives, petroleum, metals, or other materials.
VERTEX’s experts evaluate demolition/abatement contractors’ performance on projects against the requirements of contract documents, applicable laws and regulations, and industry standards to opine whether or not a particular contractor’s conduct met or fell below a requisite standard of care.
