Construction Forensic Services and Solutions

Eliminate potential deficiencies before they escalate into costly problems with our construction quality control and oversight services. Our team offers independent, third-party inspections throughout the construction process to verify that all work aligns with the project documents, applicable standards, manufacturer requirements, and accepted construction practices.

Our specialized consulting services emphasize waterproofing integrity, building enclosure performance, and critical construction details that significantly influence the long-term durability of a building. We conduct thorough property assessments to evaluate conditions involving roofing, exterior wall assemblies, windows and doors, flashing, sealants, waterproofing systems, and other components essential for protecting the structure from water intrusion and environmental exposure.

By identifying potential issues during construction—when they can be efficiently corrected—we assist owners, design professionals, and contractors in mitigating the risk of water intrusion, premature deterioration, costly repairs, schedule impacts, and future disputes. Additionally, our litigation support services ensure that your project remains defensible against disputes that may arise post-construction.

From preconstruction reviews and field observations to testing, documentation, and final quality assessments, our goal is clear: to provide an independent set of experienced eyes to ensure the project is executed correctly the first time and continues to perform as intended for years to come.

We conduct comprehensive property assessments using the ASTM E2018 standard to evaluate and document the current physical condition of existing buildings and properties. Our property assessments are designed to identify observed deficiencies, deferred maintenance items, potential areas of concern, and conditions that may require further evaluation or corrective action, supporting effective construction quality control. 

By providing clear, objective documentation of existing conditions, we assist property owners, buyers, investors, attorneys, and other stakeholders in understanding the condition of a property. This understanding is crucial for making informed decisions regarding maintenance, repairs, capital planning, acquisitions, and future improvements, as well as facilitating litigation support services when necessary.

Our goal is to provide a practical, unbiased evaluation that clearly communicates what is present, what may require attention, and where additional investigation may be warranted, ensuring a thorough approach to property condition assessment.

Our team provides technical consulting, claims analysis, and expert support for construction-related disputes and litigation. Leveraging extensive industry experience, we evaluate project documentation, construction practices, and alleged defects while ensuring adherence to standards of care and contractual requirements. In addition, we conduct thorough property assessments and assess contractor means and methods to clarify complex technical issues. 

By collaborating with experienced architectural, engineering, and construction professionals, we analyze a wide range of disciplines and project conditions. Our litigation support services may include document review, site evaluations, causation analysis, assessment of construction deficiencies, repair scope review, deposition support, and expert testimony. 

Whether assisting owners, contractors, design professionals, insurers, or legal teams, our goal is to provide clear, well-supported technical opinions that help clients understand the facts, evaluate responsibility, and effectively navigate construction claims and disputes.

Reduce investigation costs while expanding the amount of information collected through our aerial building survey and drone documentation services. Our team utilizes drone technology to efficiently capture high-resolution visual data across large or difficult-to-access areas of a building or property, enhancing construction quality control processes. 

This innovative approach allows for broader sampling and more comprehensive documentation than many traditional inspection methods, while also minimizing the time, access requirements, and costs typically associated with field investigations. 

We have specific experience using aerial data collection to support construction investigations, property assessments, and litigation support services, such as claims analysis and the development of expert opinions. The information gathered can effectively document existing conditions, identify areas of concern, compare construction details, and provide a clear visual record for consultants, attorneys, insurers, owners, and other project stakeholders. 

By combining construction knowledge with aerial technology, we are able to collect meaningful field data efficiently, turning it into valuable information for technical analysis and decision-making.

Our mapping and 3D modeling services provide accurate, visual representations of buildings, sites, and construction conditions, essential for maintaining construction quality control throughout both horizontal and vertical construction projects. These tools assist with documentation, planning, quantity verification, progress evaluation, condition assessments, and the analysis of complex project areas while supporting effective property assessments.

Detailed maps enable users to efficiently evaluate site and building conditions, perform measurements, calculate areas and distances, and analyze large amounts of spatial information with minimal effort. Three-dimensional models enhance this data by allowing users to explore buildings, structures, and project areas within an interactive virtual environment.

These capabilities are particularly valuable in litigation support services, as maps and 3D models can transform complex technical information into clear demonstrative exhibits. This helps attorneys, experts, mediators, judges, and juries better understand site conditions, construction details, areas of alleged damage, and other issues central to a dispute.

Whether utilized during construction, as part of an investigation, or to communicate technical findings in litigation, our goal remains to turn complex field data into clear, measurable, and easily understood visual information.

Document and communicate the progress of your project with high-quality aerial photography and video captured throughout the construction process. Our aerial progress documentation services provide a clear, consistent visual record of work completed over time from a perspective that traditional ground-level photography cannot always offer. Builders, developers, owners, and investment groups increasingly rely on aerial progress tracking not only to monitor construction activity and document major milestones, but also for construction quality control and property assessments. This ensures effective communication of project status to stakeholders who may not be able to visit the site regularly.

Routine aerial documentation also serves as valuable litigation support services by creating a historical record of the project. It helps teams verify completed work, compare progress between reporting periods, and maintain visual documentation of site conditions as construction advances. 

Whether utilized for internal reporting, owner updates, investor presentations, marketing, or as permanent project records, aerial photography and video provide an efficient and compelling way to showcase progress from groundbreaking through to completion.
