Challenge

The owner was faced with defective construction on this seven-year-old complex and a legal battle with the complex's general contractor.

Solution

W.E. Lyons Construction was hired by the owner's legal counsel to provide litigation support and destructive testing in preparation for trial. W.E. Lyons prepared a realistic cost estimate and alternatives which helped all parties resolve the dispute. After the dispute was settled, W.E. Lyons went to work correcting the defects while scheduling around building occupancy. The project was completed ahead of schedule and at a substantial savings for the owner.
