James Hays - Director of Field Operations

Jim has been involved with the residential and commercial construction industry since 1960 in many capacities ranging from laborer to licensed general contractor. He has spent the last eight years as an Architectural Expert defending builders and developers in construction defect litigation using his legal background to specialize in class certification lawsuits. Jim's undergraduate study was at the University of Arizona and he was awarded the degree of Juris Doctor in 1978. Jim was also in the Armed Forces serving in the United States Marine Corps.

Jim has been involved in well over a hundred cases with extensive intrusive testing experience focusing on life safety, water intrusion, mold and fire resistive allegations. More specifically, he has personally tested over a thousand windows, and hundreds of fire walls, decks and roofs. He has watched in many other cases as Plaintiff experts hacked and tore apart homes, which many good builders had worked hard to produce. Often, he could look at an adjacent project being newly constructed and see that many of the same mistakes were being made again and again. He knew he would likely be back to that project in a few years. Jim decided to dedicate his efforts to ending this costly and destructive cycle by helping to "treat the cause, not just the symptoms". He has often been accused of being a little too idealistic to think that he could help make a difference in this industry, a task that was often deemed impossible.

Jim is responsible for creating the checkpoints and designing checklists specific to each floor plan after a thorough review of the building plans, applicable codes, and the specific needs of you, the builder we represent. He knows to include the life safety checkpoints that the Plaintiffs will look for first, no matter how small and seemingly insignificant. Of course he knows to include the water intrusion checkpoints that are problematic and often a frequent source of leaks. Jim will work with your team to incorporate the checkpoints that your company culture dictates, your quality assessment reports recommend and those items your insurance carrier requires. Jim oversees the Right at Home team of inspectors to train, guide and help schedule their efforts to make sure that your inspections occur as you desire.

Jim has worked hard to protect and instruct builders over the years. He would take pride in having the opportunity to provide your company higher levels of quality control than have been the standard in the industry and to help provide the most sophisticated levels of protection ever available. The best results come from team efforts and he would be pleased to join yours.
