Our Process
How It Works
01
Initial Consultation
We discuss your situation, the structure in question, and the nature of the failure or defect. No commitment required at this stage.
02
Site Inspection
A registered forensic engineer attends the property for a thorough on-site investigation, documenting all visible and measurable defects.
03
Laboratory Analysis
Material samples and data collected on-site are subjected to laboratory testing including core strength analysis and microscopic evaluation.
04
Report Preparation
A technically rigorous, legally defensible report is prepared — documenting root cause, extent of defect, and recommended remediation pathway.
05
Expert Review
The report undergoes peer review by a second registered engineer before delivery to ensure absolute accuracy and independence.
06
Delivery & Support
You receive the final report and our engineer remains available to provide expert witness testimony, consultation, or clarification as required.
