pay out of construction bonds where the contractor has defaulted or has been removed from the project.

As an expert witness, Joe has worked on disputes involving delay claims, physical and financial damages
claims, insurance claims, expropriations, value-in-place assessments, and reproduction cost assessments.
He has given testimony in various courts across Ontario, including the Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario
Municipal Board, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), and alternative dispute resolution.
