In this matter, we intervened in a hotel construction project in Tenerife, where the property owner faced delivery delays, execution defects, and contracted items that were never executed. Our task was to provide an external, rigorous, and defensible perspective to technically analyze the breaches and their impact, with an objective and impartial approach.
The work was structured from the beginning to respond to the critical points of the conflict: review of the contract and execution plan, temporal analysis of the actual progress, and technical verification of pending and/or defective works, including the consistency of the penalties associated with the breach. This approach allowed us to organize the case with a clear expert logic: what was agreed upon, what was executed, what was left unexecuted, and what needed to be corrected to guarantee commissioning.
From there, we performed an analysis by systems and items, which allowed us to go into technical detail without losing the global vision. The report addresses critical areas in a hotel asset: electrical installations (low and medium voltage), thermal and plumbing installations, fire protection, building and finishes, networks and systems, construction control, and building management systems (BMS), in addition to the delays. This segmentation was key to converting a complex situation into a verifiable technical account.
In building and finishes, for example, leaks and dampness, waterproofing problems, poorly executed finishing elements, and other incidents that affected operation and habitability were documented. In parallel, issues especially sensitive for safety were identified, such as defects that compromised fire protection systems and the correct functioning of essential installations.
The methodology combined on-site verification (collecting visual evidence and contrasting the constructive reality), technical interviews with contractors and project managers, and the analysis of specific reports prepared by specialists. All of this was integrated with an expert traceability criterion: each incident is linked to its technical support and its corroboration in the field.
Finally, to arrive at a solid resolution, the technical part was contrasted with the documentary part in each block, systematically reviewing the invoices and works executed by third parties after the replacement of the contractor, so that the result would not remain a mere description of failures, but a defensible certification of what had to be executed/corrected and why. This combination of technical diagnosis + evidence + documentary traceability is what allowed us to transform the case into a robust and useful conclusion for the strategy of the procedure.
