Concrete Claims Service



In the concrete construction industry, building systems and components oftentimes fail to perform due to a design deficiency, an installation error, or a material failure. Regardless of the cause, the problem frequently results in a claim made against the A/E, the general contractor, the concrete subcontractor and the material supplier(s).
