Forensic Investigations

Founded in 1976, our firm has performed thousands of structural investigations for homeowners, commercial and industrial building owners, government agencies, attorneys, and property insurance adjusters. We realize that our reputation and credibility is critical to the resolution of a claim – and we provide unbiased investigations and reports.

With the majority of our engineers having advanced degrees, they are familiar with design techniques and the latest building codes – yielding accurate analysis and conclusions. In designing thousands of new and renovated structures, we are knowledgeable about all common construction materials and which components and connections are typically critical. We know what items in a structural failure to investigate first.

Just as important as determining the cause of a claim is finding a practical and safe solution to repair the damage. We know the best methods for repairing and rebuilding structures which can yield significant savings for our clients on covered claims.
