According to a multi-state study, the most common sources of defects are related to the following factors:

• Weather barriers
• Framing
• Mechanical systems
• Plumbing systems
• Fire-resistive assemblies
• Window and door installations 

Nevertheless, the majority of construction defects (80%) are tied to poor workmanship.Inadequate or improper building materials also played a role in 40% of construction defects. These variables are directly under the control of project management personnel and contractors. 

Overall, 4% of projects were deficient in one or more areas and, in total, researchers found over 47,000 specific deficiencies, some of which posed risks of death or serious injury.

Construction defect illustrations help illustrate complex aspects of mechanical equipment, product failures, and workmanship deficiencies that contribute to injury, death, or property damage. 

At High Impact, we offer a wide range of construct defect assets, including the following:

• Still-frame graphics
• Motion animations
• Accident reconstruction videos
• Medical graphics and illustrations
• Point-of-failure animations

Our graphics and animations allow audiences to better comprehend the sequence of events in — as well as who or what contributed to — an incident. Civil litigation attorneys on both sides of the aisle use our construction defect illustrations to navigate complex construction-related injury claims. 

High Impact also serves clients in the industrial sector, helping them understand what happened, why it did, and how future occurrences can be prevented. By partnering with stakeholders and business decision-makers in the industrial sector, High Impact proudly contributes to safer work environments.

Construction defect animations from High Impact are remarkably valuable assets, regardless of whether you are seeking justice for an injured party, exonerating a client from civil liability, or simply aiming to get to the bottom of an industrial accident. 

Clients use our construct defect graphics to do the following:

Improve Recall

On average, a person will only retain about 10-20% of any written or spoken information presented to them after three days. Adding visual content to a presentation causes recall rates to jump to nearly 65%.

Improving recall by such a significant margin gives you a huge advantage during legal proceedings. Whether you represent a defendant or a plaintiff, High Impact’s graphics can help you improve recall among jurors and judges alike so that — when it comes time to render a verdict — they’ll remember more pertinent details and facts and be empowered to make a strong, evidence-based decision.

Explain Complex Topics

Construction defect cases are incredibly complex, and relaying those intricacies to a jury of laypersons and non-subject matter experts is undoubtedly challenging, regardless of how skilled you are as a presenter. 

High Impact’s construction defect animations are a great tool for reinforcing your arguments. Pair them with your presentation to help drive home key points, break down complex topics, and ensure your message is understood. 

Obtain or Contest Damages

Civil suit attorneys frequently partner with the High Impact team when representing victims of defect-related injuries. Our illustrations and graphics are great tools for recreating incidents, demonstrating mechanisms of injury, and drawing a correlation between the defect and the defendant’s negligence.

Our graphics are also a great tool for defendants and their attorneys. For instance, you could leverage our animations to illustrate confounding factors that lower your client’s liability and reduce their monetary obligations to the plaintiff.

High Impact benefits clients in both the legal and industrial sectors through high-quality, accurate graphics and animations created by a team that includes talented visual strategists, consultants with medical backgrounds, forensic experts, and skilled medical illustrators. 

With such a diverse and widely skilled team, we provide construction defect illustrations to address many different types of deficiencies, including:

• Delay Claims: Showcase the costs of delays through animations and charts
• Doors, Windows, and Glass Seals: Demonstrate points of failures by comparing proper and incorrect installations 
• Electrical Issues: Break down complex electrical defects 
• Finishing Defects: Demonstrate how finishing defects lower property value and increase the risk of injury 
• Foundation Issues: Explain how material or workmanship failures contribute to foundation issues
• Mechanical Problems: Highlight mechanical problems and how they inflict injury or property damage 
• Structural Integrity: Illustrate structural integrity flaws
• Thermal and Moisture Protection: Explain the chain of events related to moisture protection issues and subsequent damage 
• Water Intrusion: Correlate water intrusion issues with product and workmanship failures

These are just some of the construction defect graphics that we produce; if you need powerful visuals that illustrate what happened and why, as well as the negative impacts on your client, High Impact’s team is here to help.

We provide construction defect illustrations for a wide range of use cases (including trial presentations and demonstrative exhibits), and our graphics are offered across a range of design styles (including 2D and 3D animations, still graphics, recreations, and full-length animated videos). 

Arguably, what’s most important is that we make use of our state-of-the-art 3D animation studio to ensure that your deliverables accurately convey the key facts of your case. Each is stringently reviewed, allowing you to integrate our graphics into your presentation with confidence.

While the success of your case hinges on the facts and quality of legal arguments, you need construction defect graphics with a proven track record of success when the outcome of a case is on the line. High Impact provides the valuable tools to help strengthen your presentation. 

When a man suffered an injury due to an improperly mounted ceiling ladder, The Mathis Law Firm needed quality illustrations to explain the negligent installation. Lead attorney Austin Mathis turned to High Impact.

In this particular case, the home builder improperly installed the ceiling ladder, ignoring installation instructions provided by the manufacturer and using the wrong type of screws. Adding to that, they also used too few screws, which contributed to the injury. 

With the support of High Impact’s graphics and animations, Mr. Mathis obtained a settlement that was worth 20x more than the defense’s largest settlement offer. Make no mistake, his skill as an attorney was certainly foundational to the outcome of the case, but High Impact’s legal graphics helped him amplify his arguments. We make facts animated, reducing confusion and improving recall.
