Over a third of UK construction projects are held up by defects, with fewer than one in six being fault free on completion. We offer a comprehensive range of services from technical audits to complete management of projects to reduce our client's exposure to these risks.
Rectifying avoidable building defects caused by poor workmanship or design wastes over £400 million per year, excluding consequential costs and losses. This is a major cause of dispute and construction litigation. Our forensic investigations provide clear information on the causes of failure and where responsibility lies. This helps to avoid and resolve disputes as well as providing support in litigation if required.
We need to ensure that the mistakes of the past are not repeated over and over. Our technical reports and audits, based on extensive experience of the causes of building failure, add to the prospect of trouble free construction.
Dealing with construction failures requires various degrees of familiarity with science, law and practice. FACTS draws together key aspects from each to provide a coordinated approach to the prevention, diagnosis and cure of construction defects and the related aspects of legal remedy and liability.
A balance of experience and training gives the best results. FACTS offers a full range of professional services for the design, procurement and management of building projects.
