We coordinate and perform extremely complex intrusive testing programs, including interface with testifying experts.
Our work product is an intelligent narrative discussion of findings, holistically linking cause and effect far beyond simple checklist forms.
We synthesize third-party expert findings (e.g. structural, fenestration, or roofing consultants) into a cohesive set of reports and cost estimates.
Our voluminous photographic evidence is thoroughly categorized according to construction trade and location.
