A Pre-Construction Video Survey is a highly accurate and useful method of documenting pre-existing conditions that can be visually observed. A Pre-Construction Video Survey is beneficial in that; it helps to defend against fraudulent insurance claims against the construction or building firms by documenting pre-existing faulty conditions.   
Court's & Insurance Companies are recognizing the incredible power of Video as an indisputable evidence in a pre-trial and trial cases.
Pre-Construction Video Surveys are a valuable asset to any construction firm. As work is set in motion, streets get dug up and as heavy equipment move toward residential neighborhoods; it is vital to document the condition of the property before work begins, during construction and through completion. A legal Videographer is critical for videotaping because they are a disinterested third party. Advocate Certified Video will ensure the video is documented properly. Each videotape will have a date/time stamp recorded on the tape, as well as a running commentary narrated by the Videographer.
The law makes its way into nearly every aspect of construction. Those involved in construction must learn to live with the applicable laws to avoid complex and expensive construction disputes. Planning, management and video documentation can best avoid these disputes.
Legal Remedies for Construction
Defects
Construction defects can lead to complicated litigation
because many of them are not noticeable immediately after
completion of a project. Some defects are difficult to
trace to their source because there may have been numerous
subcontractors involved in a single job … or because they
have been caused by inferior materials.
Common construction defects
include:
- Cracks in foundations, floors,
walls and roofs
- Faulty engineering or
architectural plans or specifications
- Inadequate grading or improper
soil preparation or compaction
- Faulty drainage or improper
landscaping
- Water seepage or improper heating
and ventilation (causing dry rot, termites, molds and
bacteria)
- Defective plumbing or electrical
systems
- Defective lighting
- Inadequate security
- Substandard building materials
- Failure to follow material
manufacturer's installation or application instructions
- Failure to meet applicable
building codes
- Failure to follow engineering or
architectural plans or specifications
Monetary compensation generally can include cost of
repairing or restoring the property, diminution in value
(the difference in market value before and after the
injury), and loss of use of the property during the period
of damage and repair.
If you or your business find yourself involved in a
construction dispute, it is important to consult with an
attorney as soon as possible in order to preserve your
rights.
