Description
A masonry cavity wall cladding system was installed at an office facility in 2012. Seven years later, the owner reported the stone dislodging. This case study examines the background, issues, evidence, decision points, and legal analysis resulting in a reclad of the facility. This presentation will highlight the importance of documentation and correspondence between parties, as well as supporting the claims for a plaintiff party while facilitating continuous use of the facility without interruption. A concise overview will be provided from the perspectives of the plaintiff’s representative engineer and attorney, offering insight into the complexities and challenges associated with a full building masonry reclad litigation case.
