After several years of employment as a litigation consultant under the study of several well-know litigation consultants and Bay Area builders, founder Gregg de Haan decided it was time to move forward and establish his own firm.
Our Philosophy
The firm is founded on two basic concepts, Industry Experience and Integrity. The firm is compiled of a balanced mix of highly talented Contractors, Electricians and Engineers. The goal is to provide a “valuable package” for our clients’ various needs. The firm’s philosophy is simple; provide a group of experts much like a building is originally constructed to get a balanced, educated opinion for fair resolution.
The building trade faces many challenges: Man-power/woman-power coordination, tight schedules, adverse building environments, fiscal constraints and challenging design, which often times leads to construction defects. Given the above listed challenges, de Haan & Associates Construction Consulting was established.
