Forensic services are performed on multi-family projects, including Type III and Type V construction. These large-scale commercial and mixed-use developments require evaluation of performance under higher usage demands and varied occupancy types. Work includes investigating and analyzing alleged issues on behalf of developers or contractors.
Issues evaluated include the building envelope, cladding, interior finishes, and other construction assemblies. Evaluations involve field observations, destructive testing, and the review of project documents to identify contributing factors and liable parties. Remediation recommendations are based on SB-800 standards, resultant damages, and the implications of undue maintenance obligations.
