Books from The Construction Forensics Group

Practical resources for homeowners, property owners, and professionals who want to better understand construction, recognize potential problems, and make more informed decisions.


Our books draw on decades of real-world construction experience and the same practical, evidence-based approach we bring to construction forensic matters.

UPDATE

CONSTRUCTION FORENSICS


This book is currently in final development and is being updated to reflect the changing realities of residential construction, building performance, warranty disputes, construction investigations, and owner-builder resolution.


Recent casework and developments within the industry have added important practical insight that deserves to be included before publication.


Rather than release a book that immediately requires updating, publication is being intentionally extended so the final edition reflects the conditions, problems, and resolution strategies we are seeing in the field today.


Updated publication date to be announced.


BEFORE YOU BUY


Before You Buy is currently being updated to reflect what today's homebuyers need to know before purchasing a new or recently constructed home.


Changes in construction practices, materials, builder warranties, inspections, homeowner associations, and the homebuying process have created new issues—and new risks—that buyers need to understand before closing.

Publication is being intentionally extended to incorporate these developments, along with lessons drawn from current construction investigations and real-world homeowner cases.


The goal is simple: make sure the book reflects what buyers are actually encountering today—not what the residential construction market looked like several years ago.


Updated publication date to be announced.

CONSTRUCTION FORENSICS

CONSTRUCTION FORENSICS

CONSTRUCTION FORENSICS

An introduction to understanding construction problems beyond what is immediately visible.

Understanding the building is often the first step toward protecting it.
