INVESTIGATIONS, REPORTS & CONSULTING

Answers before you commit. Solutions when things go wrong.

Independent site audits, feasibility assessments and written investigation reports — so you’re deciding on evidence, not assumption.

Two reasons people call us

Both need the same thing: unbiased facts backed by hard evidence.

BEFORE YOU COMMIT

Know the real costs before you sign.

Weighing a lease, purchase, or facility conversion? We audit the space to uncover hidden risks, actual capacities, and true budget requirements.

AFTER SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG

Find out what failed and how to fix it.

Structural issues, leaks, or unexpected defects? We perform an independent site investigation to identify the root cause, assess the damage, and map out the exact fix.

Level II certified thermal imaging

Some of the most expensive building problems are invisible. Moisture tracking behind drywall, air leaking through a failed seal, insulation that settled or was never installed — none of it shows on a walkthrough, and all of it gets worse while it stays hidden.

Infrared thermography reads the temperature differences those conditions create, letting us map what’s happening behind a surface without opening it. Our thermographers hold ITC Level II certification, which covers not just operating the camera but interpreting what the image actually means — the difference between a genuine defect and a reflection, a shadow, or ordinary solar gain.

You get a report with the thermal imagery, the conditions it was taken under, and a plain reading of what we found. No exploratory demolition, no guessing where to cut.

Hands-on envelope diagnostics

In-house accurate investigation requires physical access, not ground-level guesswork. Our in-house tracked machinery gets technicians directly to elevated failure points fast – eliminating scaffolding delays while gathering immediate inspection data.

Independent means independent

If we assess a building and the answer is that it isn’t worth the work, that’s what the report will say. We’d rather lose the construction job than write a report that sends you into one you’ll regret.
