Expert Witness & Litigation Support

We recognise that to be a competent Expert Witness you need first to be an experienced Quantity Surveyor.

The role of the Expert Witness is highly specialised.

It requires comprehensive training together with a detailed knowledge of both the construction industry and the legal process.

The accomplished Expert will be able to combine the preparation of a detailed report with the ability to both present evidence and handle cross examination.

The selection of your Expert Witness should not be taken lightly. He/she is a vitally important figure who may hold the key to the success of your case.

We have much experience in this role and have been commended for our efforts by Clients and judges alike.
