Construction Data Sources: The List You Need to Prepare.
What to Look for and Where to Look for It.
Construction litigation often involves a wide mix of structured and unstructured data spread across project teams, jobsite personnel, third-party systems, and field documentation. A well-built eDiscovery data source checklist helps legal teams identify where relevant information may reside early in the matter, reduce collection gaps, and better prepare for claims involving delays, defects, safety issues, payment disputes, and project communications. This checklist is intended as a practical starting point, recognizing that every construction matter may require additional case-specific sources.
