Engineering Expertise for HVAC & Plumbing Systems
Step 1
Introduction & Consulting
The first step is an initial consultation with the attorney to thoroughly understand the complaint or liability claim.
Step 2
After establishing an agreement, the investigation phase begins. This typically includes a review of project records related to the design and construction of the mechanical systems.
Step 3
Once all necessary investigations are complete, an engineering report may be prepared. This report outlines project findings and will be discussed verbally with the attorney.
