Water intrusion, structural failure, code violations, cost overruns — each defect type requires a different specialist. We assemble the right expert for the right issue: licensed appraisers, structural engineers, and forensic construction consultants who can identify cause, quantify loss, and testify with authority.
Why property and construction cases drag — and what makes them worse.
Developer blames contractor. Contractor blames subcontractor. Subcontractor blames the designer. Without a credible independent expert to establish what actually caused the defect, the case stalls in blame-shifting.
Water intrusion requires a building envelope specialist. Structural failure requires a licensed PE. Foundation issues require a geotechnical engineer. The wrong expert gets exposed in deposition — and the report falls apart.
Engineering identifies the defect. But the financial impact — loss in property value, cost to repair, consequential damages — requires a separate USPAP-compliant appraisal. One without the other is incomplete.
We don't send a general contractor when you need a structural PE. Each engagement is matched to the specific issue at hand.
USPAP-compliant property valuations for damage claims, diminution of value, and insurance disputes. MAI and SRA certified where required.
Starting from $2,000*Licensed Professional Engineers for foundation failures, load-bearing defects, structural inadequacy, and building code compliance analysis.
Starting from $3,000*Water intrusion, moisture damage, roofing failures, and waterproofing defects — including ASTM testing and invasive/non-invasive investigation.
Starting from $2,500*ASPE-certified cost estimators who quantify repair, replacement, and remediation costs for litigation support and insurance claims.
Starting from $2,000*Foundation soil analysis, slope stability, ground movement, and subsurface condition assessment for property damage and defect cases.
Starting from $3,500*CPM scheduling analysts and project management experts for delay claims, acceleration costs, and productivity loss disputes.
Starting from $3,000** Starting estimates. Final fees vary by project complexity, scope of investigation, and engagement terms.
Construction defect cases span every building system. We match the expert to the specific failure mode — not just the category.
Faulty roofing, window sealing failures, inadequate waterproofing, mold resulting from water penetration
Foundation cracks, inadequate load-bearing support, improper framing, settlement issues
Building code failures, permit violations, ADA non-compliance, unsafe conditions
CPM delay analysis, acceleration claims, lost productivity, concurrent delay disputes
Every property and construction evaluation we place is prepared with litigation use in mind — documented, methodology-disclosed, and built to withstand opposing expert challenge.
Starting from $2,000*. Scope and fees confirmed before engagement.
Tell us the property type, the defect category, and your case role — plaintiff, defense, or insurance. We'll match the right specialist and confirm scope before any commitment.
