Design errors or omissions can be errors or flaws in the drawings or in design administration that may affect the performance of a process or product or potentially cause harm and damage.

Forensic engineering is generally defined as the application of science and engineering to the investigation of a failure or an incident. Within the framework of a system or component failure, IEI will provide forensic construction consulting and determine the physical causes of the incident, prepare engineering reports, and offer forensic analysis expert witness testimony at mediation, arbitration and trial. The IEI team of skilled forensic experts investigates materials, products, structures or components that fail, do not operate or function properly, or may have caused personal injury or damage to property.

Our consultants have the background and years of experience to assist you with disputed issues. IEI's experts are experienced in project management, scheduling, cost estimating, bidding and claims. Construction claims can impact change orders, disruptions, delays, abandonment, suspension and termination, force majeure, differing site conditions and interference, to name a few. An IEI consultant, who also has experience as a construction claims expert witness, will evaluate damages and clearly communicate the results of an analysis in an easily understood way.
