Cause and Origin Investigations

Expertise in Forensic Analysis: With years of experience in forensic engineering and investigation, our team possesses the knowledge and skills needed to conduct comprehensive cause and origin investigations for building failures of all types and complexities.

Multi-Disciplinary Approach: Building failures often involve complex interactions between various structural, mechanical, electrical, and environmental factors. We employ a multi-disciplinary approach, drawing on expertise from different fields to ensure a thorough investigation.

State-of-the-Art Technology: We leverage cutting-edge technology and advanced analytical tools to gather and analyze data, including structural analysis software, digital imaging, thermography, and more, enabling us to uncover hidden issues and root causes.

Objective and Impartial Analysis: Our investigations are conducted with objectivity and impartiality, ensuring that our findings are based on factual evidence and unbiased analysis. We provide clear and transparent reports that stand up to scrutiny in legal proceedings, insurance claims, and dispute resolution.

Site Inspection: Detailed on-site inspection of the building and its components to assess the extent of damage, structural integrity, and potential safety hazards.

Documentation Review: Examination of project documentation, including design drawings, construction documents, maintenance records, and inspection reports, to identify potential design flaws, construction defects, or material failures.

Testing and Analysis: Performance of various tests and analyses, such as material testing, structural analysis, water intrusion testing, and environmental testing, to gather data and corroborate findings.

Root Cause Analysis: Systematic investigation into the root causes of building failures, considering factors such as design errors, construction deficiencies, material defects, environmental conditions, and human factors.

Report Preparation: Preparation of a comprehensive report summarizing investigation findings, analysis methods, conclusions, and recommendations for corrective actions or remediation strategies.
