Forensic investigations

Independent investigation of building damage, structural distress and alleged defects — translating physical evidence into a clear technical opinion.

How we help

Evidence-led advice, clearly communicated.

Investigations combine document review, focused site inspection, measurement and engineering analysis. The objective is not simply to describe damage, but to distinguish cause from symptom and identify the most proportionate response.

Each engagement is scoped to answer the decisions that matter: what has occurred, what is required next, and how the work should be delivered.

Typical commissions

  • Structural cracking, settlement and movement
  • Concrete deterioration and reinforcement corrosion
  • Water ingress and building-envelope failure
  • Vehicle impact, tree impact and accidental damage
  • Retaining wall, balcony and façade failure
  • Disputed defects and technical peer review

Typical outcomes

  • Concise structural or causation report
  • Photographic schedule and measured observations
  • Opinion on cause, extent and significance
  • Recommendations for further investigation
  • Repair strategy or scope of works
  • Technical support for stakeholders and advisers
