Forensic Defect Reporting
Investigation • Clarity • Impartiality
All-in-One Expertise
Forensic reports serve as critical tools for uncovering hidden defects and structural failures in construction projects. Our comprehensive investigations support legal proceedings, inform repair decisions, and verify compliance with building codes. Whether examining new constructions or evaluating existing structures, forensic analysis provides the evidence needed to make informed decisions about building integrity and safety:
- Regulatory Compliance: Forensic review of the issuing of building permits, performance solutions, occupancy permits, fire separation and disability on all classes of buildings.
- Structural Failures: We investigate foundation movement, inadequate support systems, building damage, fire damage and compromised load-bearing elements of buildings and provide sensible solutions.
- General Construction Defects: Comprehensive defect and non-compliance reporting for all general building defects for completed building or buildings under construction.
- External Weatherproofing Failures: We investigate failures in external cladding, windows, balconies, terraces and roof and stormwater that contribute to water ingress into buildings.
- Internal Waterproofing Failures: We have trade qualified waterproofing specialists who can diagnose and report on internal waterproof membrane failures.
