EXPERTISE
Mr. Calabrese's expertise spans well beyond the disciplines typically offered by
the average general contractor, which are usually cost estimates &
comparisons, standards of care applied, failure of building components
resulting in personal injury, & construction procedures.
Mr. Calabrese's skills & experience further speak to contractor
professional diligence, site safety, earthquake cost analyses, contractor
license laws, & water intrusion that results in the growth of mold, to
cite some.
Empaneled by Arbitration Works, Incorporated, he arbitrated & mediated
construction related cases for the Contractor’s State License Board for
approximately 7 years, & was a participant in their “Industry Expert”
program for close to 10 years, which entailed, among other things,
documenting construction defects by way of detailed photographs &
measurements, evaluating quality of workmanship & the standard of care
applied, cost estimates, reasonableness of cost estimates submitted by
others, testifying in administrative hearings, & writing analytical
reports.
In 1995 he was selected as a preferred expert to participate in the
Contractor’s State License Board’s Earthquake Response Team. The team
specialized in evaluating the performance & professional diligence of
other licensed contractors engaging in earthquake repairs, when a complaint
was filed against them by a consumer.
He also taught the law portion of a course that prepared contractors to pass
the state exam required to become licensed in California, which included but
was not limited to, California State contractor licensing laws, site safety,
management & contracts, OSHA & Workers’ Compensation laws.
Other licensed contractors have relied on his expertise to assist them in
resolving & avoiding disputes in their own businesses. He has prepared &
authored various contract forms designed to serve specific contracting
specialty trades, & the unique issues each faces.
Mr. Calabrese has maintained a private construction forensics & expert
consulting practice since 1995, & seeks to expand his knowledge in his
field.
