The question they often ask is <strong>whether the expert report will cost them a lot<\/strong>, and whether it will be worth paying for it in view of the claim they may bring.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><em>Will the report be expensive?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">The cost of the report <strong>will depend on the amount of damage<\/strong> to be recorded, <strong>the number of homes, their location, measurements, \u00a0the tests required, trials, and whether or not quotes from third-party specialist companies are needed<\/strong> (for underpinning with resin injection, geotechnical firms, authorised installers, etc.), but it will always be cheaper the more people join in the expert assessment. We explain why below.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: large;\"><em>How to make an expert report on construction defects cheaper. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/em><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If a report on one home costs,\u00a0 for example, \u20ac1,000, and instead of 1 home <strong>several affected owners group together<\/strong> so that 4 homes, or even the whole homeowners&#8217; association, are assessed in that report, <strong><u>the price of the report will not be multiplied arithmetically by the number of people affected<\/u><\/strong>. Instead, the main base cost will remain, with the quote naturally rising a little, but not in direct proportion to the number of homes. Once the expert has travelled to the site and is carrying out the relevant tests or surveying the damage, including other homes does not require much extra effort, since they will ultimately have similar defects, with a similar origin and cause, and the same diagnosis and repair items.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u00a0So, for example, <strong>that \u20ac1,000 report will not cost \u20ac1,000 x 4 = \u20ac4,000\u00a0 but \u20ac1,600<\/strong>, which, shared among 4 owners, works out at \u20ac400 each.\u00a0 The more people affected, the cheaper it will be.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">In addition, for any subsequent claim it pays to join forces, since claiming for one home is not the same as bringing a collective lawsuit on behalf of 42 owners affected by the same defects. It will always carry more weight before the judge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If you have any questions or would like to <a href=\"https:\/\/dpcon.es\/en\/contact-us\/\">request a quote for an expert report<\/a>, do not hesitate to contact us.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/dpcon.es\/en\/\"><\/a><\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
