When a building dispute reaches NCAT, the Supreme Court or formal mediation, the quality of the expert report often decides the outcome. South Coast Remedial's director Tony Cesare provides expert witness services backed by decades of hands-on remedial building experience and a Tribunal-ready reporting standard.
Tony has provided expert reports and testimony on facade failures, waterproofing breaches, concrete defects, structural movement and scope-of-works disputes across NSW. Every engagement is independent, evidence-based and conducted to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct.
