Every engagement at Argos — whether we are protecting a client's investment on an active project or reconstructing what went wrong after the fact — is guided by the same discipline: rigorous analysis, clear judgment, and advice that holds up under scrutiny.
We serve owners, developers, and institutions that need an independent, technically credentialed voice at the table — one that understands how projects are built, how contracts are structured, and where risk concentrates.
We act as our clients' eyes and ears throughout the project lifecycle. From procurement and contractor selection through construction administration and closeout, we ensure that technical commitments are met, scope is protected, and decisions are made on the basis of accurate information rather than contractor-driven narratives.
We evaluate budgets, estimates, change orders, and claims with the precision of engineers who have built and assessed projects of comparable complexity. Our cost opinions are grounded in current market data, construction methodology, and first-principles analysis — not benchmarks alone.
We assess project schedules to identify delays, quantify their causes, and allocate responsibility with rigor. Whether deployed proactively to stress-test a contractor's baseline or retrospectively to support a claim or dispute, our scheduling work is built to withstand challenge.
We help clients identify, quantify, and mitigate technical and contractual risk before it becomes a problem. Our advisory engagements integrate engineering judgment with project management discipline to produce practical, actionable guidance at every project phase.
We are retained by counsel, insurers, owners, and institutions when technical facts matter — in disputes, claims, and investigations where the standard of analysis must be defensible in court, in arbitration, or at the negotiating table.
We assess the performance of engineers of record, specialty contractors, threshold inspectors, and other project participants against the professional standards applicable at the time and place of the work. Our opinions are objective, methodology-driven, and grounded in industry standards and practice.
We establish the technical causes of construction defects and quantify the reasonable cost of remediation. Our causation analysis integrates materials science, structural evaluation, and construction methodology. Our repair cost opinions are detailed, documented, and built to survive scrutiny.
We design and oversee field and laboratory testing programs for fenestration, waterproofing, structural components, cladding systems, and finishes. We select methods, interpret results, and translate technical findings into clear, actionable conclusions.
We apply analytical rigor to complex factual records — project documentation, inspection logs, testing data, scheduling files, financial records — to identify patterns, establish timelines, and support the development of compelling technical narratives for litigation and dispute resolution.
We provide full-spectrum support through mediation, arbitration, and trial. Our services include expert report preparation, rebuttal opinions, demonstrative exhibits, deposition testimony, and trial support. We are experienced in translating complex technical matters into clear, credible presentations for non-technical audiences.
Our clients include property owners and developers, insurance carriers and adjusters, construction counsel, general contractors, and public and institutional owners across the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America. We engage on matters of all scales — from single-building disputes to large infrastructure claims — and bring the same principal-level attention to each.
