Cook & Kelly specialise in preparing high-quality Expert Witness Reports for both Applicants and Respondents involved in NCAT building disputes.
We service all suburbs across Sydney.
Our principal expert is a licensed builder and Registered Building Practitioner with extensive experience across all classes of construction, including residential, commercial, and complex structures.
We work closely with lawyers, engineers, homeowners, builders and developers, ensuring every report complies strictly with the NCAT Expert Witness Code of Conduct.
Where applicable, we reference the National Construction Code (NCC), relevant Australian Standards, manufacturer specifications, and other industry-recognised technical documents to support and justify our expert findings.
Our mission is to provide clear, defensible, and evidence-based expert opinions that assist the Tribunal in reaching a fair and equitable outcome.
Cook & Kelly prepare high-quality Expert Witness Reports that are built to withstand scrutiny in Tribunal and Court proceedings. Most reports are completed within two to four weeks.
If time is critical, we also provide expedited Expert Witness Reports at a priority rate.
Whether you are the applicant or respondent in a building dispute, we can support you throughout your matter.
For Applicants, it is essential to properly identify defects and incomplete works within a clear technical framework. Rectification costs must be accurately estimated and presented in a Scott Schedule, ensuring allegations are put before the Tribunal or Court in a defensible and evidence-based manner.
For Respondents, allegations must be reviewed and addressed with equal technical rigour. Defects need to be assessed, justified, and costed accurately to ensure your defence is supported by credible evidence and accepted industry standards.
Our expert reports are prepared to be robust, technically accurate, and capable of being defended under cross-examination.
Every matter begins with a free phone consultation with a building expert, allowing us to understand your dispute and advise on the most appropriate expert report for your case.
