Civil Engineering Expert Witnesses

Civil engineering is a discipline within professional engineering that focuses on the design, construction, maintenance of both private and public infrastructure. Civil engineers are often retained in order to lend their expertise to cases that involve buildings, airports, tunnels, dams, roads, water systems, and bridges.  Our civil engineering expert witnesses, speakers, and consultants are scholars, researchers, and industry professionals with extensive experience in teaching, research, and industrial positions. A few areas that these experts specialize in include:

  • Housing
  • Building construction
  • Sustainable and green construction
  • Construction management
  • International construction project management
  • Construction claims and recovery
  • Electrical contractors
  • Mechanical contractors
  • Delay
  • Risk assessment
  • Decision support systems
  • Computer-based risk assessment
