Start Your Construction Resolution Journey

Not Sure Where to Begin?

Whether you’re about to sign a contract, in the middle of construction, approaching the end of your warranty, or struggling with unresolved construction problems, you’re in the right place.


You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong before asking for help.


You simply need to know where to begin.


That’s why we created Start Here—to help you identify where you are in the process, understand what may be happening, and find the most practical next step.


Start with the problem. We’ll help you determine what the situation requires.

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

If so, you're not alone.


Almost every homeowner who contacts us has asked one or more of these questions.

"My builder says it's normal."

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

Sometimes it is. Sometimes it isn’t.


Independent evaluation can help determine whether the condition is normal or evidence of a construction problem.

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

Repeated repairs may be treating the symptom instead of the cause.


Understanding why the problem keeps returning is often the first step toward resolving it.

"My warranty is about to expire."

"The repairs didn't fix the problem."

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

Builder warranties operate on deadlines.


Documenting unresolved concerns before important warranty dates can help preserve your options.

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

Sometimes legal counsel is necessary.


But understanding the technical facts first can help you make a better decision about whether—and when—an attorney is needed.

"I don't even know what's wrong."

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

"I don't even know what's wrong."

That’s okay.


You don’t need to diagnose the problem before contacting us. That’s part of what we help determine.

"I just want my home fixed."

"I'm thinking about hiring an attorney."

"I don't even know what's wrong."

Most homeowners do.


Our objective is to understand the problem and help pursue the most practical path toward resolution.

How We Help

We don't simply investigate construction problems. We help homeowners move toward resolution.



✔ Understand What Happened
We investigate construction conditions and work to identify the underlying issue—not simply the visible symptom.


✔ Identify the Root Cause
Understanding why a problem occurred is essential to determining what should happen next.


✔ Organize the Technical Evidence
Photographs, documents, inspection findings, timelines, communications, and other evidence are organized into a clear and credible technical record.


✔ Communicate Professionally
We help homeowners present technically supported concerns to builders, contractors, insurance companies, and other responsible parties.


✔ Work Toward Resolution
We help determine the most practical path forward—whether that involves the builder, warranty process, additional experts, insurance, or, when necessary, legal counsel.


The objective isn’t simply to document the problem. It’s to help determine what to do about it.

Our Construction Resolution Process™

Every construction problem is different, but the path toward resolution usually begins the same way: understand what is happening before deciding what to do about it.


That’s why we developed the Construction Resolution Process™—a structured approach for investigating construction conditions, developing the technical facts, communicating with the appropriate parties, and pursuing the most practical path toward resolution.


Our role can continue beyond the investigation or report. When appropriate, we remain involved as the matter moves through builder response, repair discussions, expert coordination, insurance, mediation, or other resolution efforts.

Common Construction Problems We Help With

You may be dealing with a problem in a home you already own—or seeing concerns develop while your new home is still being built.


Wherever you are in the process, the first step is understanding what is actually happening.


🏗️ New Construction & Workmanship Concerns
🏠 Construction Defects
💧 Water Intrusion
🌿 Mold & Moisture
🏚️ Foundation & Structural Movement
🏠 Roofing & Building-Envelope Problems
❄️ HVAC & Indoor-Environment Concerns
📋 Builder Warranty Problems
🔧 Failed or Repeated Repairs
📑 Construction Documentation & Evidence
⚖️ Escalating Builder Disputes
🔍 Root Cause Analysis

Is Your Situation Already Complicated?

Some construction problems can be addressed through focused investigation, documentation, and communication with the builder or responsible party.


Others have already become much more complicated.


You may be dealing with:


  • Multiple construction defects or building systems
  • Repairs that have failed or created additional problems
  • Large amounts of photographs, reports, emails, and other documentation
  • Engineers, inspectors, contractors, or other experts
  • A builder or contractor disputing responsibility
  • Insurance issues or competing explanations of what caused the damage
  • An attorney, mediation, arbitration, or potential litigation


When a construction problem reaches this point, coordination can become just as important as investigation.


Through Construction Case Management, The Construction Forensics Group can help organize and coordinate the technical side of a complex construction matter—from investigation and evidence development through expert coordination, builder engagement, and resolution support.


You don’t have to manage all of the moving pieces yourself.
