Services
Architectural Design
Our architectural design process begins with detailed programming to understand spatial requirements and budget constraints. We develop schematic concepts through study drawings, then refine designs with technical specifications for structural and mechanical systems. Our team prepares comprehensive contract documents and manages construction administration to ensure projects meet design intent while maintaining compliance with building codes and regulations.
Forensic Consulting
We specialize in evaluating construction defects through visual inspections and destructive testing to determine failure causes. Our forensic services include document analysis to identify defective assemblies and liability assessments for financial recovery. We provide expert testimony and technical support for mediation or litigation proceedings involving construction disputes and repair obligations.
Repair Recommendations
For construction defect issues, we develop detailed repair drawings and specifications tailored to specific building failures. Our team coordinates with qualified contractors to implement SB-800 compliant fixes that address structural deficiencies while minimizing project disruption. We also provide cost estimates and oversight for repair implementations to ensure quality execution.
Construction Administration
Our construction administration services ensure projects adhere to approved plans and specifications throughout the building process. We provide contractor coordination, progress reviews, and technical clarifications to maintain design integrity. Our team monitors timelines and budgets while addressing field conditions to deliver completed projects that meet original design objectives.
Liability Analysis
We conduct comprehensive liability analyses to identify responsible parties in construction defect cases. Our technical evaluations examine scope of work documentation and building practices to determine accountability.
