Construction & Engineering expert witnesses
Delay, quantum and technical evidence for construction and engineering disputes.

Construction and engineering disputes generate more expert evidence than any other sector, and they turn on three questions a tribunal must answer in order: what happened on site, who caused the delay, and what it cost. We connect legal teams with delay analysts, quantum surveyors and forensic engineers who can answer each of them and withstand cross-examination on the method they used.
In construction & engineering, the difference between a strong case and a weak one often comes down to whether the expert truly understands the sector. Generalist opinion rarely survives scrutiny on specialist questions, and a tribunal gives little weight to evidence that misreads how construction & engineering actually works. We focus here precisely because the issues are technical, the stakes are high, and the wrong expert is an expensive mistake.

FAQ
Common questions
What does a Construction & Engineering expert witness do?
A Construction & Engineering expert witness gives independent, objective opinion to a court or tribunal on specialist issues within construction & engineering. The overriding duty is to the court, not to the instructing party. That opinion typically takes the form of a written report and, where required, oral evidence.
When should I instruct a Construction & Engineering expert?
As early as the issues become clear. Instructing early helps you weigh the strengths and weaknesses of a case, scope the evidence proportionately, and avoid a rushed report against a looming deadline.
How do you choose your Construction & Engineering experts?
We select on substance: relevant qualifications, genuine construction & engineering experience, and an understanding of an expert's duties in litigation and arbitration. Where an expert has limited experience of giving evidence, we say so.
Do your experts use recognised delay analysis methods?
Yes. Our delay experts work to the methodologies recognised by the SCL Delay and Disruption Protocol and AACE, and will say plainly which method the available records actually support rather than the one that flatters the claim.
