Our Areas of Expertise
Forensic Architectural, Engineering, and Scientific Services
We perform detailed investigations to determine the root cause of building failures, system malfunctions, and construction defects.
Our multidisciplinary approach combines architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing and scientific expertise to analyze evidence, identify responsible parties, and produce professional reports that hold up under scrutiny.
Common Applications: Building system failures, water intrusion, code compliance, fire damage, and entryways and exits.
Premises Liability – Slip, Trip, and Fall
We analyze slip, trip, and fall incidents to determine causation and contributing factors such as surface design, lighting, maintenance, or code non-compliance.
Our expert reports document conditions and identify liability based on building codes, accessibility guidelines, and national safety standards.
Common Applications: Public walkways, ramps, stairs, parking lots, and entryways.
Mediation Services
We provide mediation services for clients dealing with construction failures, building problems, and non-conformance with the International Building Codes, National Standards, local ordinances, and Accessibility Guidelines.
By choosing mediation, clients can avoid the expense of legal litigation and achieve solutions more efficiently. This approach shortens the time required for resolution and allows repairs or corrections to begin sooner—without the delays of court proceedings.
Key Benefits: Faster resolutions, reduced costs, and effective implementation of construction corrections through collaborative, expert-guided mediation.
Construction Management Services
We provide construction management services for remediation projects that include repairs, replacements, substitutions, and corrective work. These projects often follow our mediation services, helping clients resolve construction-related problems quickly and efficiently—without entering into legal litigation.
We manage the subcontractors or general contractor of record to ensure that all remediation work identified in our professional reports is completed properly, on schedule, and in full compliance with building codes and standards.
Key Benefits: Faster repairs, reduced legal costs, and expert oversight that ensures lasting, code-compliant results.
Commercial & Residential Building Inspections
We provide comprehensive building inspection services for commercial and residential properties, including pre-sale, post-sale, and occupancy evaluations for realty companies and property owners.
Our on-site inspections include photographic documentation and detailed descriptions of all existing building systems. Each inspection results in a comprehensive report outlining any deficiencies or necessary repairs that may not have been disclosed by previous property owners. For roofs and high-rise structures, we utilize drone technology to safely and accurately assess exterior conditions.
We also provide estimated costs for any required repairs, upgrades, or replacements, giving clients a clear understanding of property condition and potential investment needs.
Key Benefits: Accurate documentation, advanced inspection technology, and detailed reporting that supports confident property decisions.
Vehicle and Motorcycle Accidents Causation
We investigate vehicle and motorcycle accidents to determine cause, contributing factors, and responsibility.
Through on-site analysis, evidence review, and reconstruction expertise, we identify conditions such as roadway design, visibility, signage, and environmental factors that may have led to the incident.
Common Applications: Accident reconstruction, roadway safety analysis, and mechanical or environmental causation.
