Process
How ExpertConnectBC works
Two paths, one privacy rule: the public directory shows only verified construction and engineering professionals. Full matter facts travel only through invited RFPs after a conflict questionnaire and NDA.
- 1
Create a role-based account
Counsel and experts register separately. Admin accounts are granted, not self-serve, except in local preview for testing the verification queue.
- 2
Experts submit registrant details
EGBC, AIBC, or ASTTBC number plus credentials. The profile stays off the public directory until an admin records a registry check.
- 3
Counsel browse or shortlist
Filter by discipline, matter type, region, and expert-witness versus consulting-only. Save a shortlist for a private RFP.
- 4
Send a private RFP
Describe the file, name parties and counsel for conflicts, and invite only the experts you choose. Uninvited experts never see the matter.
- 5
Conflict check and NDA
Invitees disclose conflicts and acknowledge a digital NDA before matter facts unlock. Typed acknowledgement is a stub until a production e-sign provider is wired.
- 6
Message on the thread
Once the gate is cleared, counsel and that expert share a secure thread on the RFP. Fees and retainers stay between the parties.
Opinion evidence in the Supreme Court of British Columbia is governed by the Civil Rules and related practice. ExpertConnectBC does not give legal advice and does not replace counsel’s duties on qualification, privilege, or disclosure.
