Good day today I assessed a site where a new home has been built with the finishing touches been added. They asked me to assess several mature trees that are not healthy on investigating these trees are dead still with brown leaves having been killed during the construction. The builders stored building materials around base of the trees mix concrete and washed their equipment in the root zones.

This is now going to cost the owners several thousand of dollars to remove trees replant not to mention the loss of shade very important at this time of year to help keep the house cool. 

If they has contracted me before the construction occurred I could have set up a Tree Protection zones and tree managed procedures so this would have not occurred.
