Hi, I’m Chuck Miller, And I’d Like to Take A Few Minutes To Share With You Why I Am Confident As Your Expert Witness I Can Help You Prevail in Civil Legal Cases
What Makes Me An Expert
The dictionary defines an expert as:
“Somebody who has a broad and deep understanding and competence in terms of knowledge, skill and experience through practice and education in a particular field or area of study.”
Physicist Neils Bohr defined an expert as “a man who has made all the mistakes, which can be made, in a very narrow field.”
My experience includes single and multi-family residential, mixed-use, commercial, and institutional projects across the United States. During my 56+ years in the construction industry, I have made my share of mistakes. But I have also learned from them and from the mistakes of others. I reviewed 1,077 consumer complaints against contractors filed with the Idaho Contractors Board of the Idaho Division of Occupational and Professional Licenses from 2008 through 2022 and provided my professional opinion and assessment of the contractor’s compliance with applicable building codes, state and local laws, and the Board’s rules and code of ethics; the contractor’s conduct, the quality of the contractor’s work, and the ethical appropriateness of the consumer/contractor relationship.
I have pursued professional education through the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and have earned 11 of NAHB’s professional designations:
- Graduate Master Builder
- Certified Graduate Builder
- Graduate Master Remodeler
- Certified Graduate Remodeler
- Master Certified Green Professional
- Certified Green Professional
- Certified Aging-In-Place Specialist
- Master In Residential Marketing
- Certified New Home Marketing Professional
- Master Certified New Home Sales Professional
- Certified New Home Sales Professional
I have been an instructor of NAHB courses since 1999.
I have served as Principal Writer for a new NAHB course titled Residential Construction Industry Fundamentals and the course titled The Project Schedule As A Planning and Communication Tool.
I have also Served as a Subject Matter Expert and contributed content for NAHB courses, including
- Estimating and Scheduling for Profitable Business Operations
- Marketing and Sales for Building Professionals
- Principles of Residential Marketing: Research & Analysis
- Principles of Residential Marketing: Strategy & Implementation

And I have served on the Working Group for NAHB’s publication, “Residential Construction Performance Guidelines for Professional Builders and Remodelers”
