The firm represented the prime contractor in a claim by a school district that the installed window system was defective. The firm reviewed the installation of the windows to confirm the product and method of installation complied with the contract documents.
The firm took an aggressive position that the design was defective and was the sole reason for the window system failure. After multiple-rounds of meetings and a mediation, the firm was able to successfully negotiate a settlement with no out-of-pocket payment by the prime contractor and the cost of replacement and repair covered by the project architect.
