Building defects / expert witness reports in Lancaster
At Philip Lea Associates we provide technical building knowledge to identify and resolve defects with residential and commercial buildings.
We can provide a detailed report dealing with the causes of – and potential solutions to – specific problems.
If you are in dispute with a builder, the building defect report can often be a way of resolving a dispute before it escalates to court action. If it is impossible to resolve a dispute without proceeding to court action, we are able to provide appropriate and detailed reports as an expert witness.
We are also able to offer structural analysis reports to establish the cause of any major structural movement and provide detailed solutions. We can provide specialist investigations such as drain surveys and tree reports, and monitor building works.
