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 dispute arises over whether a contractor met the obligations of a lump-sum contract on a commercial renovation. The owner claims incomplete scope and poor-quality work, while the contractor argues that all deliverables were satisfied within the agreed terms.

Our Approach:

·       Review the executed contract, including scope of work and payment terms.

·       Compare as-built conditions with the specified deliverables.

·       Verify contractor compliance with quality and performance requirements in the agreement.

·       Analyze correspondence, meeting minutes, and submittals for scope clarifications or changes.

Expected Findings:
We would identify whether the contractor delivered all required scope per the contract or fell short in quality and completeness.

Outcome:
A defensible expert report would document compliance or non-compliance, providing clear evidence for the attorney’s case strategy in litigation or settlement negotiations.
