Construction Forensics & Building Failure Investigation Experts
Independent Guidance for Construction Defects, Damage, and Unexplained Issues
When something is wrong with your home — cracking, moisture, structural concerns, or unexplained damage — the hardest part is often knowing what to do next.
Most homeowners are met with conflicting opinions, pressure to act quickly, or uncertainty about whether a problem is serious.
The Construction Forensics Group provides independent, evidence-based construction investigations so you can understand what is actually happening before making decisions.

What We Help With
We work with homeowners dealing with:
• Construction defects and building failures
• Water intrusion, drainage, and moisture issues
• Cracking, movement, and structural concerns
• Insurance-related property damage questions
• Builder disputes and unresolved warranty issues
• Suspected construction fraud or misrepresentation
If something feels wrong with your home, but you don’t yet know why — that’s exactly when we can help.
You Are Not Expected to Have the Answers
Homeowners often reach out feeling:
• Unsure whether a problem is serious or cosmetic
• Worried about making the wrong decision too early
• Pressured by contractors, insurers, or timelines
• Concerned that waiting may make things worse
You don’t need to know what you’re dealing with yet.
That’s our role.
In many cases, the right first step is not action — it’s understanding.
What Construction Forensics Is — and Why It Matters
Construction forensics is a methodical, evidence-based evaluation of how and why a building issue is occurring.
It is not a basic home inspection, and it is not a contractor’s opinion.
It involves analyzing:
• How the home was designed
• How it was actually constructed
• Whether construction meets code and accepted standards
• The root cause of damage, moisture, or failure
• Whether conditions are likely to continue or worsen
Our role is to replace uncertainty with clear, defensible findings.
When Homeowners Typically Call Us
Most homeowners contact us when:
- Something feels wrong, but no one explains why
- Damage appears months or years after construction
- An insurance claim is being considered or has stalled
- Repairs are suggested without clear cause or documentation
- A builder, contractor, or insurer minimizes concerns
If you are unsure whether you even need forensic services, that uncertainty alone is a good reason to start with a conversation.
New Construction Doesn’t Always Mean Defect-Free
Many of our clients are homeowners who purchased newly built homes from large developers or production builders.
In these situations:
- Construction is often performed by multiple subcontractors
- Warranty processes can feel rigid or confusing
- Responsibility may be unclear
- Insurance involvement may be required
When concerns arise, homeowners are often told that issues are “normal,” “within tolerance,” or “not covered.”
Our role is not to take sides — but to document conditions objectively so homeowners understand whether concerns are valid and what options exist.
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 — not to push you into one.
How We Help

Construction Fraud & Misrepresentation
Investigation of inconsistencies between work performed, representations made, and actual conditions.

Residential and Commercial Projects
While many of our clients are homeowners, we also work with commercial properties, including restaurants, retail spaces, and other occupied buildings.
Commercial engagements often involve more complex systems, multiple stakeholders, and higher financial exposure. Our forensic approach remains the same — independent, methodical, and focused on understanding the root cause of failure.
Whether residential or commercial, our role is to bring clarity to situations where the facts are unclear and the stakes are high.
