The Construction Forensics Group

When something doesn't feel right with your home, knowing what to do next can be overwhelming.

Whether you're dealing with construction defects, water intrusion, warranty issues, structural concerns, mold, or a builder who keeps telling you everything is "normal," you don't have to navigate it alone.

We investigate construction problems, identify what's actually happening, document the technical evidence, and help homeowners work toward a fair resolution with builders, contractors, insurance companies, and—when necessary—attorneys.

Many of our clients contact us before hiring an attorney, when there is still an opportunity to resolve the problem through clear technical information and professional communication.

If you're having problems with your builder, don't wait until you're forced into a legal dispute. Let's talk about what's happening and whether we can help.

Problems We Help Homeowners Solve

Most homeowners don't contact us because they want a forensic investigation.

They contact us because something doesn't feel right.

Maybe...

Your builder says the cracks are "normal."
Your warranty claim isn't going anywhere.
Water keeps showing up, but nobody can explain why.
You're worried about mold or moisture.
Repairs have been attempted, but the problem keeps coming back.
You're being told the issue isn't covered.
You're not sure whether you need an attorney—or if there's a better way to resolve the problem.

That's where we come in.

We investigate what's actually happening, explain it in plain language, organize the technical evidence, and help homeowners move toward informed decisions and practical resolution.

How We Help

Every situation is different, but our process is remarkably consistent.

We begin by understanding what's happening—not making assumptions.

Then we:

Investigate the construction problem
Identify the root cause
Organize the technical evidence
Explain our findings in plain language
Help communicate with builders and contractors
Help homeowners navigate builder warranty, insurance, and—when necessary—legal processes.

Our objective isn't simply to document problems.

Our objective is to help homeowners move toward resolution.

Understanding What's Really Happening

Independent Answers. Clear Technical Guidance. Practical Next Steps.

When something is wrong with your home, you're often given different explanations by builders, contractors, insurance companies, or repair professionals.

The hardest part usually isn't finding opinions.

It's knowing which one is correct.

That's where we come in.

We independently investigate what's actually happening, identify the root cause, explain it in plain language, and organize the technical evidence so you can make informed decisions.

Whether the best path is working with your builder, pursuing a warranty claim, involving your insurance company, or consulting an attorney, our role remains the same:

Help you understand what's really happening before you decide what to do next.

The Construction Resolution Process™

Helping Homeowners Move from Construction Problems to Resolution

Most firms investigate construction defects and prepare a report.

We do more.

Our Construction Resolution Process™ combines independent investigation, technical analysis, evidence development, and practical guidance to help homeowners understand what's wrong, present their case professionally, and move toward the most appropriate resolution.

Every construction problem is different. Our role is to help you understand where you are in the process and guide you toward the most appropriate next step.

Helping Homeowners Move Forward

Most construction problems don't begin as legal disputes.

They usually begin with one simple question:

"What's really happening with my home?"

Sound familiar?

A builder saying "it's normal."
A warranty repair that didn't solve the problem.
Water intrusion that keeps coming back.
Cracks or movement that don't seem right.
An insurance claim with unanswered questions.
Conflicting opinions from different professionals.

Without a clear understanding of the facts, those problems can become:

Warranty disputes
Insurance claims
Builder negotiations
Mediation
Arbitration
Litigation

We're here to help at every stage of that journey.

We help homeowners every step of the way.

Initial consultation
Construction investigation
Root cause analysis
Technical documentation
Builder communications
Warranty support
Insurance claim support
Expert coordination when needed
Litigation support if necessary

Our objective isn't simply to document construction problems.

Our objective is to help homeowners move toward resolution.

Why Homeowners Choose The Construction Forensics Group

Homeowners often tell us they feel overwhelmed before they contact us.

They've heard different opinions.

They're frustrated with their builder.

They're unsure whether the issue is serious.

They don't know whether to involve an attorney, an engineer, or their insurance company.

We help bring clarity to that process.

Why clients choose us

Independent—we don't profit from repairs.
Evidence-based—not speculation.
Plain-language explanations—not technical jargon.
Practical guidance—not pressure.
Resolution-focused whenever possible.
Litigation support when necessary.

Our goal isn't simply to investigate construction problems.

Our goal is to help homeowners make informed decisions with confidence.

What To Expect When You Call

The first conversation is confidential, informal, and focused on understanding your situation.

We'll talk about:

What you're experiencing
What you've already done
What your builder has said
Whether the issue appears construction-related
What the most practical next steps may be

Sometimes the right answer is to move forward.

Sometimes the right answer is to wait.

Sometimes the right answer is that you don't need us.

Our responsibility is to tell you the difference.

Either way, you'll leave the conversation with a better understanding of your options.

From Construction Problem to Resolution

Every construction problem follows a different path, but most begin the same way—with uncertainty.

Our role is to bring clarity at every stage, from the first conversation through investigation, documentation, builder communications, warranty support, and, when necessary, litigation support.

The illustration below shows how we help homeowners move from uncertainty toward informed decisions and practical resolution.

Why Homeowners Choose The Construction Forensics Group

Most homeowners contact us after they've already heard several different opinions.

A builder may tell them the issue is "normal."

A contractor recommends a repair.

An insurance company reaches a different conclusion.

An attorney explains the legal process.

The problem isn't a lack of opinions.

It's knowing which opinion is supported by the facts.

That's where we come in.

Why clients choose us

Independent. We don't profit from repairs or construction work.

Evidence-Based. Our opinions are supported by investigation and technical documentation—not assumptions.

Plain Language. We explain complex construction issues in a way homeowners can understand.

Resolution-Focused. Whenever possible, we help homeowners work toward practical solutions before litigation becomes the primary strategy.

Experienced. More than 40 years of construction, development, inspections, and forensic investigation.

Nationwide Perspective. We regularly assist homeowners, attorneys, and organizations across the United States.

Our goal isn't simply to investigate construction problems.

Our goal is to help homeowners understand what's happening, make informed decisions, and move toward the best possible resolution.

Builder Warranty & Construction Condition Reviews

Many homeowners contact us because their builder is not adequately addressing warranty concerns, repairs have failed, or they are being told an issue is “normal,” “within tolerance,” or “not covered.”

Sometimes those explanations are accurate.

Sometimes they are not.

We independently evaluate the construction condition, review the available warranty and project documentation, identify the underlying cause, and help homeowners understand what should happen next.

We can assist with:

Unresolved warranty claims
Failed or incomplete repairs
Cracking, movement, and structural concerns
Water intrusion and moisture problems
Flooring, roofing, exterior, and workmanship issues
Builder communications and technical documentation
11th-month and pre-warranty-expiration reviews

Our goal is not simply to identify defects.

Our goal is to help homeowners present clear, technically supported concerns and work toward a fair resolution with their builder.

LEARN MORE ABOUT BUILDER WARRANTY SUPPORT

What to Expect on the First Call

The first call is informational and low-pressure.

During that conversation, we will:

Listen to what you are experiencing
Ask clarifying questions about timing, symptoms, and history
Help determine whether the issue may be construction-related
Explain possible paths forward — including when no action may be appropriate

There is no obligation, no commitment, and no expectation that you proceed beyond that call.

Our goal is to help you understand your options so you can make the decision that's right for you—not to pressure you into ours.

Residential & Commercial Construction Problems

Whether you're dealing with a newly built home, an existing residence, a commercial building, retail space, restaurant, HOA property, or other occupied facility, our objective is the same:

Builder warranty concerns
Water intrusion and moisture damage
Structural movement and cracking
Workmanship and construction defects
Insurance-related construction issues

Commercial matters often involve:

Building envelope failures
Roofing and water intrusion
