Matthew is a licensed Professional Engineer with 13 years of experience in diverse international construction and rehabilitation projects in a wide range of construction markets including civil infrastructure, stadiums, transportation, medical, vertical construction, commercial, mixed-use, renewable energy, industrial, and residential construction. He offers solutions to complex construction problems through the joint application of engineering principles and schedule delay analysis methodologies. He conducts site investigations in conjunction with extent of damage assessments, building code reviews, cause and origin assessments, schedule analysis, and period of interruption evaluations and applies creative analytical approaches in the gathering of information and analysis of contemporaneous documentation in support of his assessments.

Matthew specializes in conducting delay analysis evaluations, developing as-planned construction schedules, and analyzing time-element related metrics associated with business interruption in property damage claims and evaluates costs arising from delay-related impacts including inefficiency claims and escalation. He also performs engineering-related evaluations to assess the extent of damage resulting from fire, explosion, wind, surge, tornado, and hail incidents and prepares conceptual scope of repair recommendations and conducts reviews of the applicable building code. He performs construction defect evaluations and has been designated as an expert witness in multi-party disputes to opine on the cause of construction defect(s) and has also prepared cost-related measurements in support of alternative dispute resolution proceedings.

Matthew’s construction project management experience includes development of baseline schedules, monthly schedule updates, the implementation/monitoring of project controls, project engineering and associated remedial work plans, and the development and preparation of quantum associated with delay claims, through the execution of the contract work for a general contractor constructing large-scale heavy civil public works projects in the water/wastewater treatment plant market. Delay claims included design errors and omissions, spatial conflicts represented in drawings, workmanship related defects, and added scope incorporated by way of change orders. He oversaw project performance in monitoring the schedule, buyout cost overruns/savings, and productivity associated with self-perform work including cast-in-place concrete, structural steel, miscellaneous metal fabrications, underground utilities, and process mechanical piping and equipment.
