Litigation Case (Coating failure)

The main contractor hurried the subcontractor to apply the coating on-site and instructed them to address any issues during the defect rectification period after application. The subcontractor complied, but over time, more defects were discovered and corrected. Despite multiple repairs, new coating defects, such as delamination, continued to surface. Eventually, the main contractor hired a third party to fix the issues, billing the subcontractor for the repair costs without their consent. The subcontractor disagreed, leading the main contractor to sue them. The subcontractor then engaged experts from Polymet Analytics Solution for their defense.

Experts from Polymet Analytics Solution examined the case and suggested a root cause analysis to independently determine the cause of the coating failure. Using these results, they successfully defended the subcontractor, saving them from paying nearly MYR 1 million in repair costs.
