What makes CIA different than any other third party quality control company?
At the 2007 Building Industry Association (BIA) Construction Risk Management Conference and important point was raised; “In the fifteen-plus years that 3rd party quality control companies have been around, none have been able to reduce the cost of construction defect litigation.” CIA can do both. By having a clear picture of the building before the walls are covered over CIA can eliminate the need for destructive testing. Destructive testing is often the most costly portion of any construction defect claim, because of this developers and insurers often settle rather than defend. By eliminating this cost CIA greatly reduces the cost of defending against these claims, by reducing the cost of defense the chance of a frivilous settlement is eliminated. When defect attorneys realize they have almost no chance of gaining a settlement they move on to another project that wasn’t documented by CIA.
