With subject matter experts globally, VERTEX is the go-to resource for matters involving construction, design, compliance, regulatory, contracts, and more.

Witness Our Experts

Because we have collaborative teams of technical professionals alongside forensics experts, we practice what we preach. We offer expert services on megaprojects and high-profile real estate and other property or construction claims throughout the globe. VERTEX is the go-to resource for forensics, contract claims, delay and disruption, commercial damages, standard of care, cost-of-repair, environmental and construction disputes, government contracts, intellectual property, and more. We also help clients assess and allocate liabilities, and evaluate plaintiff declarations to determine reasonable costs.

VERTEX’s services that support construction claims often include failure analysis, evaluation of the status of completion of a construction or design project at the time of the default, and review and analysis of contracts against claims for the cost of finishing interrupted construction projects. If you are an attorney or in-house counsel with cases involving design claims, construction claims, property development claims, environmental claims, safety claims, commercial damages, or government contract matters, VERTEX has your expert witness.

WHY VERTEX

VERTEX has experienced and qualified experts that work on large scale construction, and environmental disputes, government contracts, compliance disputes and more. Our expert witnesses have been an integral part of the legal team with construction claims from sureties, suppliers, subcontractors, designers, owners, and developers. We have been successful in bringing favorable and just settlements to every type of construction claim including infrastructure such as roadways and rail-transit development, military bases, marinas, solar developments, schools and higher education developments, industrial and chemical sites, and commercial and public buildings just to name a few.

VERTEX is unique in that we tender our cost of repair reports as formal bids to complete the work. This verifies the legitimacy of our estimates and promotes fair settlements.
