For Attorneys

When paired with robust design and construction oversight, third-party testing and verification provide a proactive approach to safeguarding the integrity of construction projects. These services are instrumental in identifying potential vulnerabilities early, ensuring compliance with building codes, industry standards, and project specifications. For example, rigorous testing of air and water barriers can reveal weaknesses that might lead to water intrusion, a common cause of structural damage, mold growth, and subsequent legal disputes. By addressing these issues during construction, project stakeholders can avoid costly repairs, delays, and claims related to building defects.

In new construction, effective testing not only protects the physical structure but also reduces the risk of legal exposure for developers, contractors, and designers. ACT’s expertise in fenestration systems and water intrusion assessments plays a critical role in verifying that building systems perform as intended under real-world conditions. Detailed and impartial testing reports serve as valuable evidence in cases of disputed compliance or alleged negligence, helping attorneys establish factual bases for their arguments. By leveraging these testing insights, attorneys can help their clients demonstrate diligence and adherence to contractual obligations, strengthening their position in negotiations, arbitration, or litigation.
