Overview
In short: An engineering expert witness gives an independent technical opinion on a construction dispute, such as defects, workmanship or structural damage. In Kuala Lumpur we prepare expert reports and give evidence for court proceedings, arbitration, CIPAA adjudication and Tribunal for Homebuyer Claims (TTPM) cases. Our role is to explain the technical facts clearly and impartially.
Who We Work with in Kuala Lumpur
Disputes in KL often involve high-rise residential projects, commercial fit-outs and neighbouring works in dense areas such as Bangsar, Mont Kiara, Cheras and the city centre. We support:
- Law firms that need an independent engineer to review technical issues and prepare an expert report
- Homeowners and JMBs with defect claims against a developer or contractor
- Contractors and developers responding to defect or delay claims
- Neighbouring owners where damage is linked to nearby construction
Our Expert Witness Services
1. Preliminary technical review. Before proceedings start, we review documents, photos and the site, and give a frank view of the technical issues.
2. Expert reports. Independent reports covering defect identification, likely causes, compliance with drawings and standards, and recommended rectification.
3. Quantum of rectification. Cost estimates for the repair works needed, set out item by item.
4. Scott Schedules. Help preparing or responding to Scott Schedules that set out each claimed defect and each party's position.
5. Joint inspections and expert meetings. Attending joint site inspections and meetings with the other party's expert to narrow the issues.
6. Giving evidence. Explaining our findings in court, arbitration, adjudication or tribunal hearings when required.
We also handle dilapidation surveys in Kuala Lumpur, which often provide the before-and-after record in neighbouring damage disputes.
