We have extensive experience in investigating various building envelope types, including curtain walls, drained veneer systems (masonry, metal panels, stucco), and barrier systems (undrained EIFS), in both commercial and residential construction. Our expertise assists clients in identifying non-conforming aspects of wall construction, such as air barriers, WRB (Weather-Resistant Barriers), or flashing components that do not meet building code requirements.

Our extensive building design experience enables us to conduct quantitative analyses of structural framing and foundation systems, assessing their loads and capacities. We identify areas that may be inadequate, defective, or potentially hazardous. We reply on systematic forensic investigative protocols when documenting physical evidence, including deformation, deflections, and displacement, which serve to substantiate and refine our theoretical findings

Our team possesses in-depth knowledge of federal and state regulations concerning accessibility requirements for buildings and public properties. We have provided valuable assistance to clients in assessing properties and premises for code compliance in injury cases.

Inadequate drainage slopes and discharge throughput can lead to water ponding on roofs and sites, resulting in issues such as water intrusion, long-term foundation abnormalities, and, in extreme cases, roof overloading and building collapse.

Our team utilizes state-of-the-art inspection techniques to pinpoint existing deficiencies and offer effective remedial recommendations.

Hospitals, laboratories, and high-precision manufacturing buildings often require additional performance standards for their structures and foundations. These standards encompass factors such as vibration limits, machine-to-foundation mass ratios, air-tightness, and noise control, in addition to considerations of strength and safety. These above-normal standards are typically outlined in project specifications.

Our experienced team specializes in designing structures that meet these stringent standards and excels in identifying non-conformance issues.
