I have known and worked with David Parkes for over 25 years. David is an exceptional construction company executive with knowledge, insight and extensive experience in all aspects of the construction industry. David involves himself passionately in all aspects of the business and was intimately involved in the legal matters he was charged to resolve. Additionally, I witnessed David transform each of the companies he was hired to manage recognizing and resolving important issues that existed. David is an exceptional leader. More recently, I utilized ParkCon, LLC as an expert witness for damages and construction management in a lawsuit between a commercial project owner in Los Angeles and a construction manager/architecture firm I represented. David was instrumental in defining, actually enhancing, the damages sought by my client in that matter, and was a key witness in the resolution of that case. I highly recommend David, ParkCon, LLC, on any construction related enterprise, whether organizational or dispute related.

ParkCon, LLC – David Parkes - was retained by our attorney as an expert witness for damages and construction management standard of care in a dispute between gkkworks, Inc. (an affiliate of Cannon Design) and a project owner concerning a commercial/retail project in Calabasas, CA. After our initial meeting and his review of the agreements and other key documents, David had a remarkably thorough understanding of the project and the nature of the dispute. David’s input was invaluable to our case. His understanding of the contract and its application to the work was extraordinary and proved to be a principal factor in resolving our dispute. Based upon the terms contained in the contract, David increased our damages demand by more than 20%. I highly recommend David and ParkCon, LLC to help resolve any construction related dispute. 

I worked extensively with David Parkes on several disputes concerning a $55 million hospital expansion project in California. The disputes had been ongoing for several years before David was hired as president of the involved general contractor. Additionally, the project owner issued a termination notice shortly after David joined the company. Besides disputes with the project owner, the contractor was besieged with numerous complex disputes with nearly all its subcontractors and suppliers, including a substantial defective material lawsuit with one of its major material suppliers. I was impressed with how quickly David was able to assess all aspects of the project and disputes, and his ability to factually represent his company on a troubled project that had been under construction for several years before his involvement. Through David’s leadership, all matters were resolved to the benefit of his company. I found David to be a decisive leader who utilized and managed his counsel with extreme perfection. I look forward to working with David and his consulting company, ParkCon, LLC, and I highly recommend ParkCon, LLC to any company and their counsel involved in construction dispute/litigation.
