Skylight expert witnesses, like other experts specializing in specific aspects of construction projects, may be sought out for construction cases. Skylight expert consulting may provide essential information on such issues as windows and fenestration, general contracting, glass science, and other areas pertaining to various aspects of the construction industry, each of which may become the subject of a potential court case due to numerous unforeseen issues.
Skylight expert witnesses may also be experienced with other construction areas, including the installation of doors and curtain walls, as each of these items, like skylights, must be made within the rules and regulations as stated by building code compliance. Skylights, along with the rest of the construction project, may be subject to construction inspections, which would lead to possible lawsuits if any construction defects were found in or around the windows. Whether employees on construction sites are installing skylights or other features, workplace safety must be enforced, as failing to do so may result in construction accidents and other types of safety violations.
Skylight expert witnesses may also be asked to provide an expert opinion regarding whether the proper means of waterproofing were implemented during the skylight construction process. Since skylights are found on the rooftops of buildings, it is imperative that they be guarded against water intrusion, which may cause substantial damage, as well as grounds for potential lawsuits.
