As a leading building envelope consultant, our firm functions as an objective expert witness, conducting forensic investigations and providing expert testimony in construction litigation. We analyze building data to deliver expert witness reports that present the client’s case in the most favorable terms. Our team is recognized for its expertise in forensic engineering and architecture, specializing in the entire building envelope from the basement to the roof.

It is estimated that on any large project, waterproofing and drainage account for less than 5% of the total job cost. However, over 95% of project litigation is related to water intrusion, water damage, and water leakage issues. Our construction expert witnesses offer comprehensive water intrusion analysis and investigations to support legal proceedings.

We have consulted attorneys on various aspects of building performance and construction defects, including:

• Basement waterproofing, drainage, and moisture control

• Sub-slab vapor barriers and water infiltration resistance

• Podium slab and planters

• Building wrap/paper and waterproofing systems

• Sealants and moisture control solutions

• Exterior envelope systems (including doors and windows)

• Roofing and insulation systems

• Metallurgist services and metallurgy testing

Our experts offer litigation support for ALL aspects and phases of the construction process, covering both commercial buildings and single-family homes. We specialize in construction defect investigations, providing expert witness testimony in construction dispute resolution cases.

As part of our building envelope consulting services, we conduct thorough building envelope assessments and building diagnostics to identify potential construction deficiencies. Our forensic architecture and engineering approach ensures a comprehensive analysis of water infiltration issues and other building performance problems.
