Expert Advice

Our extensive experience in the glazing and façade cladding sector is often utilised to investigate an array of legal disputes, ranging from problems occurring with the use of inappropriate materials, structural durability and defective workmanship, to more design-based issues.

Crucial to our team’s work in this area is their ability to establish the real consequences of a particular problem and propose practical ways to resolve it. While this depends on the outlook and positions of the various parties, this can sometimes lead to other forms of dispute resolution.

Such cases have included leaks to composite roof cladding, defective shopfront designs and installations, as well as unexpected breakages of glass floors. In all cases, Clear Structures draws upon its extensive expertise in the design and engineering of glass structures, combined with its comprehensive forensic design techniques, to model the affected structure, analyse its performance and advise on appropriate solutions.

The scope of work undertaken by our highly respected industry experts is wide ranging and we have worked with some of the leading construction litigation lawyers in the UK.

Our recent projects are outlined here and also on the Thomasons website. For further information please contact info@clearstructures.co.uk or your usual contact at Clear Structures.
