Representing Your Vision and Your Interests

Synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The inherent risk in putting together a skilled project team is that experts often stay in the comfort of their own lanes. It takes an integrator to cut across these “silos” of talent, so that architects, interior designers, engineers, specialty consultants and builders collaborate fully.

Especially now that energy efficiency is mandated in construction codes and health and wellness are growing priorities of home design, more specialists are required. Owners need more support than ever before to help navigate the maze of choices and requirements.

Custom homes require custom approaches. You need a natural leader who has credibility and expertise at every level of the operation. You need a seasoned, hands-on expert like Chris McNally, who has worked with the best architects, engineers, designers and contractors for more than three decades.

Chris McNally has frequently been asked to troubleshoot and provide conflict resolution on floundering projects, and to assist owners in determining the causes – and fixes – of defective construction. His work has brought him into close working relationships with attorneys, insurers and wealth managers.

In 2006-2008, while serving as owner’s representative on a triple condo combination, he discovered chronic construction defects behind the walls, and was subsequently retained to represent the condo board in an action taken up by the Attorney General of the State of New York against the negligent developer.

In addition, Chris McNally provides two types of legal support to clients. First, he helps your attorney write tight, common sense construction contracts. Second, when conflicts require legal mediation, arbitration or litigation, he provides consultation and support in the area of conformance with construction documents and industry standards.
