Forensic / Disaster restoration / Insurance Inspections

failure investigations, and damage assessment

We are licensed engineers with substantial experience in engineering design, inspections, failure investigations, and damage assessments. We are not your typical engineer who sits in a cubicle crunching numbers all day long while scrolling the mouse to check drawings and details. We love the outdoors, we love to get dirty and hands-on about making changes in the structural elements to access every floor below and above the area of concerns.  We are not afraid of heights, spider webs, crawlspaces, attics, steep roofs, old homes, or ghosts.  We like to get challenged and we can even take the engineering opinions challenges to the courtroom, in front of a judge if we have to! So bring it on!   

Our structural engineering services range from identification and evaluation of construction defects and building collapses, to cause and origin assessments and roof investigations. We handle all claims involving structural deficiencies, failures or damages. 


Catastrophe assessment for storms, tornadoes, lightning strikes, winds, hail, fire, vehicle tree impact foundation settlement

We specialize in CAT assessments for hurricanes, tornadoes, storms, flood/surge, lightning strikes, high winds, hail, fire, vehicle & tree impact, and foundation settlement. We also prepare as-built drawings with structural repairs for disaster restoration permitting purposes. 

We offer engineering inspections and assessment services for insurance-related claims, and we work with property owners, property management companies,  insurance adjusters, and attorneys in building components or structures assessments, claims, or litigations. We have over 10 years of experience in preparing engineering reports for insurance claims.
