Il possède une vaste expérience de la gestion de projet dans les secteurs résidentiel et commercial, menant des projets de la phase de conception schématique à l’achèvement de la construction. Il a conçu des structures en utilisant de l’acier, du béton, de la maçonnerie et du bois.
Mr. Sharara is also experienced in scheduling, contract administration, construction engineering, field investigation, cost estimation, project budgeting, and cost control. He has designed and supervised the construction of banks, medical clinics, retail stores, and large residential projects. He has also designed and supervised residential subdivision development, including storm drainage, water distribution, and wastewater collection systems.
As a forensic engineer, Mr. Sharara is experienced in the evaluation of structures for moisture/water intrusion, construction defects, structural engineering analysis, building envelope failures, concrete and masonry cracking, and retaining wall failures. He has performed investigations to identify sinkhole activity and to determine the extent of the damage of structures underlain by sinkholes. He has investigated flooring failures, building settlements, and building collapses. Mr. Sharara is experienced in various aspects of construction claims and disputes related to construction defects, design errors or omissions, and general contractor and subcontractor issues.
M. Sharara a évalué les structures pour le vent, la grêle, les incendies, les ouragans, les tornades, les inondations, les vibrations, les vibrations des engins de construction et les dommages causés par les tremblements de terre. M. Sharara a également de l’expérience dans l’évaluation de bâtiments historiques et a effectué de nombreuses évaluations de la responsabilité des locaux et des analyses du code du bâtiment.
