Forensic Building Consultants

Forensic Building Consultants specializes in the investigation, resolution and prevention of construction related defects and ensuing damage. We apply a holistic approach to the evaluation, design and construction of entire building envelope systems. This enables us to assist architects, engineers, builders, and property owners in the development and repair of sustainable structures using affordable building technology.

Years of experience in construction, materials science and green building methods, combined with a commitment to on-time, on-target service, give us an advantage in the building science field. Unlike other companies, Forensic doesn’t suggest a 'one and only' approach. Instead, we thoroughly investigate the problem, analyze the overall situation, and then present the best possible solutions. This enables our clients to make an informed decision.
