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 residential property owner files a claim against the contractor alleging premature failure of roofing materials within the warranty period. The contractor denies liability, attributing the damage to weather events and misuse.

Our Approach:

·       Review the warranty provisions in the contract.

·       Inspect the installed system and compare with manufacturer installation guidelines.

·       Verify maintenance records, weather history, and any prior repairs.

·       Compare workmanship to industry best practices and standards.

Expected Findings:
We would determine whether defects stem from improper installation (contractor responsibility) or external factors (outside the contractor’s control).

Outcome:
Our report would clarify warranty applicability, provide photographic evidence, and offer expert testimony on whether the contractor’s obligations were met.
