  • Property Owners: We safeguard your investment by pinpointing the source of structural concerns, assessing potential risks, and crafting cost-effective repair plans that restore your building's strength and resilience.
  • Insurance Carriers: Our structural experts provide accurate and unbiased evaluations of building damage to determine the cause and extent of damage, allowing you to confidently make informed decisions and navigate claims.
  • Attorneys: We serve as your trusted technical experts, offering engineering insight to assist in equitably settling claims, whether it be construction defects, damage caused by other parties, or other practice areas.

  • Material Analysis & Testing: We’ll examine materials for hidden defects and identify optimal solutions for future projects.
  • Building Envelope Evaluation: Our team will look at more than just the resulting structural damages to ensure your building envelope is watertight to help mitigate potential for future structure distress.
