Expert Opinions and Statements

Dynamic technical development and the growing number of legal regulations and technical standards as the basis for planning and realizing constructing projects increasingly require qualified advice from competent engineers on the one hand and attorneys on the other hand. Pietschmann Attorneys and Pietschmann Consulting Engineers Ltd. therefore provide you with legal or technical expert opinions and expertise. These serve as professional evaluation of the controversial facts for the purpose of reaching an extrajudicial amicable settlement (arbitrator's expert opinion), or in order to support our client's arguments and statement of facts in legal disputes before the courts. They might also be the basis for your decision making with regard to real estate transactions.

This mainly concerns the following areas:

• cause and effect of disruptions in the construction progress
• costs of a disrupted construction progress (damages, additional compensation claims)
• collecting and evaluating defects, managing remedy of defects 
• preservation of evidence
• determination of the actual state of the performance
• legal and technical due diligence
