Our structural experts scope the extent of damage caused by fire, explosion, ice damming, water damage, wind damage, snow load, vehicle impact and ground movement/vibration. We also have specialized knowledge of building envelope issues such as leakage, seepage and geotechnical engineering. We ensure that building codes and standards have been addressed before design plans and specifications to rebuild and/or repair the building are completed. We provide litigation support for legal and quasi-legal proceedings including expert witness testimony.
Our engineers also have experience with construction management and site supervision. When construction is delayed, the cost of construction normally goes up. We can provide expert analysis of costs associated with construction delays.
