Our forensic engineers apply sound engineering principles and science to perform a detailed analysis of the failure of structural members due to natural disasters and accidents. Our many years of experience coupled with our structured investigation approach finds answers to the questions that matter most, whether in the building itself or the surrounding property.

We investigate and gather data related to the structures, products, components, or materials that have suffered failure through:

• Inspections

• Measurements

• Collecting evidence

• Conducting experiments

• Getting exemplar products

• Developing models

We also provide findings that can be used as evidence in court. In construction litigation, an experienced forensic engineer brings highly specialized analytical skills and knowledge to diagnose and determine the factors that led to a failure in a component or structure. 

We work with building owners, prospective buyers, insurance companies and law firms by offering: Building evaluations cause and origin determination damage assessments, post-earthquake assessments, insurance support, drainage system studies, flood damage investigations, due diligence studies, and roof assessments     

Our investigations deliver accurate and comprehensive reporting that clearly communicates the findings in an unbiased and factual manner, and we can provide expert testimony as required.
