To claim for any damage or construction defect, the claim has to be based on an expert report issued by an expert architect specialising in building pathologies, who often also works as a court-appointed expert. The report has to prove the existence of the damage, explain its cause, propose a repair and put a cost on it.

Expert report on construction defects and latent defects
