In the complex world of construction and property management, disputes are not uncommon. Whether it's a disagreement over boundary lines, the quality of workmanship, or contract specifications, the clarity and resolution these situations demand can often only be provided by an expert witness. 


Chartered surveyors, especially those with a background in construction like Simon Levy Associates, play a crucial role in these scenarios as expert witnesses. Read on to find out more.


Expert Insight into Construction Disputes

The involvement of a construction expert witness is invaluable in disputes that require a deep understanding of building processes, standards, and regulations. Here’s how they make a difference:


  • Objective Analysis: An expert witness provides an unbiased, professional opinion based on the facts of the case, helping to clarify technical issues for the court or arbitration panel.
  • Technical Expertise: With their comprehensive knowledge of construction practices and standards, chartered surveyors can dissect complex technical jargon into understandable, relatable terms, aiding in the accurate resolution of disputes.
  • Evidentiary Support: They supply detailed reports and, if necessary, testify in court, offering evidentiary support that can be pivotal in the decision-making process.
