HCE provides expert witness services to support legal proceedings and dispute resolution within the construction and building services industry, with a particular focus on HVAC systems. Our team brings deep technical knowledge and industry experience to assist in matters involving system compliance, design deficiencies, installation issues, and performance concerns.

Often engaged in cases relating to non-compliance with the National Construction Code (NCC), Australian Standards, or project specifications, we deliver clear, objective assessments backed by sound engineering judgment. We also provide expert opinions on occupant comfort issues—such as inadequate ventilation, thermal discomfort, or system imbalance—which may affect building performance or tenancy satisfaction.

Our services include detailed technical investigations, document and drawing reviews, site inspections, and the preparation of expert reports suitable for legal proceedings or tribunal hearings. We also offer support during mediation, arbitration, and court appearances when required. With a focus on clarity, accuracy, and professionalism, we provide robust, defensible advice that helps clients navigate complex disputes with confidence.
