Black Powder Consultants is actively building its library of case files. The example below is an illustrative scenario that demonstrates how we approach different types of disputes. While the case is generic, it reflects the depth of our experience in managing multimillion-dollar projects, reviewing contracts and scopes of work, conducting site inspections, and delivering expert reports that withstand legal scrutiny. Our qualifications, licensure, and project management expertise ensure that we are fully capable of supporting cases like those outlined below.

Scenario (Illustrative Example):
A newly constructed office building shows cracking in the foundation and water intrusion in the basement. The owner alleges construction defects; the contractor asserts the design was flawed.

Our Approach:

·       Inspect the site to document defects with photos and measurements.

·       Review structural design drawings and specifications.

·       Compare as-built construction methods with industry standards.

·       Engage specialty engineers if necessary for structural or geotechnical analysis.

Expected Findings:
We would determine whether defects resulted from construction practices, material quality, or design deficiencies.

Outcome:
Our findings would clarify liability and provide a fact-based foundation for legal resolution, whether by contractor accountability or design professional responsibility.
