Engineering Support for Lawyers
BM Consulting provides engineering insight for lawyers involved in construction and facility disputes. With over 14 years of experience delivering large industrial and infrastructure projects, I help legal teams understand how work was managed, documented, and performed relative to professional expectations and contract obligations. My background includes directing engineering and capital programs for the CN Tower, Denso Manufacturing, and U.S. Steel, where I oversaw technical delivery, contract negotiations, and project recovery. I apply that experience to review records, correspondence, and project decisions, giving counsel clear, fact-based assessments they can rely on in preparing their case.

Standard of Care Review
We evaluate how engineering and project decisions were made compared to what a competent professional would have done in similar circumstances.
This includes reviewing procedures, correspondence, and management records to assess whether the work was planned, coordinated, and executed with appropriate diligence and oversight. Our findings help counsel determine whether performance met the professional expectations reasonably required under the circumstances.
Contract Review
We analyze contracts, specifications, and supporting documentation to clarify the intent, obligations, and risk distribution between parties.
By connecting what was written to what was actually delivered, we help lawyers identify where duties were met, where gaps occurred, and how those issues influenced cost, schedule, or scope. The result is a clear technical understanding of how contract terms played out in practice.
Change Order Defence
We assist counsel in evaluating and responding to disputed change orders.
This involves reviewing correspondence, approvals, and site records to establish whether additional work was justified, properly authorized, and supported by evidence. Our approach focuses on factual contract interpretation and technical reasonableness, helping legal teams defend against inflated or unsupported claims.
