Registered as an expert before the Court of Appeal in categories C.10 (plumbing, sanitation, water networks) and C.13 (thermal, climate and refrigeration engineering), I work within distinct frameworks, each addressing specific needs and procedural rules.
Many of the disorders encountered in the course of my assignments actually fall under several of these competencies at once: a moisture pathology, for instance, may result from a combination of a ventilation defect (C.13.02), poorly designed insulation (C.13.05) and a faulty drainage network (C.10.06). It is precisely this dual expertise — plumbing/water networks and thermal/climate engineering — that allows me to provide a comprehensive, coherent diagnosis rather than a siloed analysis by trade.
Judicial expertise is an investigative measure entrusted by a judge to a technical expert to inform the court on technical matters, particularly in construction (defects, causes, liability, damages). It takes place under the principle of adversarial proceedings, with meetings and exchanges of submissions between the parties, leading to a draft report and then a final report. The expert observes and analyzes, but does not judge: the final decision rests exclusively with the magistrate.

Its conduct remains governed by law: mandatory adversarial process, guarantees of impartiality, and professional confidentiality. Its report carries the same evidentiary weight as a judicial expert report.
Learn more →Unilateral amicable expertise is requested by a single party, without prior agreement from the other party or parties to the dispute. The expert is engaged directly by the requesting party to assess a loss, analyze defects, or prepare the technical elements for potential future litigation.
