Our team is composed of civil and structural engineers who specialize in forensic investigations, repair scopes, code upgrade/compliance evaluations, and repair plans.

We provide detailed forensic analysis of property and infrastructure damage by leveraging our understanding of the built environment and the impact of wind, water, fire, deterioration, construction defects, and outside forces.

Our forensic analyses address:

  • What happened?
  • Why did it happen?
  • When did it happen?
  • What is the extent of the damage?
  • Can it be repaired?
  • What are the code upgrade/compliance requirements?
