I have been working with Allan Harriman over the past 10 years in a wide variety of complex advice and litigation work involving defects, upgrades of fire measures and claims regarding negligence practices of certifiers. Allan and his team are at the forefront of fire engineering and certification practices and deliver material at an A Grade Level and I have every intention of continuing to work with him and his team in the future. If you need a fire engineering or building certification solution or report, look no further.
