Hands-On Workshop: Field Tools in Action for Construction Defect Claims

Get hands-on experience with the non-destructive testing tools shaping today’s construction defect investigations, including moisture meters, infrared cameras, and lidar scanners. This interactive workshop demonstrates how proper calibration and use can significantly impact findings and influence claim evaluation, coverage analysis, and litigation strategy. Learn from experts how NDT results help assess defect existence, alternative causation, and reasonable repair scope, while also highlighting the risks of misuse or overreliance. The session also will address how well-documented findings support reserves, mediation, and early resolution, along with key litigation considerations around expert opinions. Prepare to leave with a practical framework for using field technology in a defensible and cost-effective way.
