In The Peculiar Construction Industry!, ForensisGroup expert witness Sanford I. Heisler discusses project differences.

In the construction industry, with perhaps the exception of tract housing, most projects differ from one to the next and are unique unto themselves. As a result of this basic characteristic, and given the complexity and the multitude of special conditions which affect each project, plus the fact that often these cases turn on a specific detailed issue, the attorney who is not a specialist in construction law will rarely see the same issues twice in his or her career. The dynamics of a construction project, the responsibilities of the parties under the contract and the interrelationship of the activities on all but the simplest projects are quite involved and can have far reaching effects on the performance on a project and its outcome. As a result it is of great help to the attorney to use a construction expert to assist in identifying and dealing with the specific issues of the case.
