Services

Ivey Engineering, Inc. offers the following services:

- Construction Defect Consulting

As an expert in the engineering and construction field, Ivey Engineering evaluates and analyzes hundreds of construction projects for defects related to design and construction. IEI provides construction defect consulting and construction defect expert witness testimony for owners, insurance carriers, law firms, developers, contractors, sub-contractors and designers.

- Design Errors and Omissions Consulting

Design errors or omissions can be errors or flaws in the drawings or in design administration that may affect the performance of a process or product or potentially cause harm and damage. Since design errors and omissions can stall a project before it begins, Ivey Engineering's design omissions consulting experts make sure you get off on the right foot.

- Forensic Investigation and Failure Analysis

Forensic engineering is generally defined as the application of science and engineering to the investigation of a failure or an incident. Within the framework of a system or component failure, IEI will provide forensic construction consulting and determine the physical causes of the incident, prepare engineering reports, and offer forensic analysis expert witness testimony at mediation, arbitration and trial. The IEI team of skilled forensic experts investigates materials, products, structures or components that fail, do not operate or function properly, or may have caused personal injury or damage to property.

- Construction Claims Consulting

Our consultants have the background and years of experience to assist you with disputed issues. IEI's experts are experienced in project management, scheduling, cost estimating, bidding and claims. Construction claims can impact change orders, disruptions, delays, abandonment, suspension and termination, force majeure, differing site conditions and interference, to name a few. An IEI consultant, who also has experience as a construction claims expert witness, will evaluate damages and clearly communicate the results of an analysis in an easily understood way.

- Estimating and Cost Analysis

We provide construction cost estimating and construction cost analysis services pursuant to disputes and litigation, many times as third party independent consultants. IEI develops budgetary and detailed cost estimates for HVAC, plumbing, energy management and controls, fire suppression and piping systems and general construction.

We investigate energy efficiency problems in HVAC systems, plumbing systems, lighting systems and building envelopes.
