Forensic Building Investigation

Isett’s Forensic Engineering Department relies on expertise and experience to help clients navigate difficult situations.

From catastrophic structural failures to building envelope performance deficiencies, our engineers provide objective evidence for homeowners, property managers, insurance carriers, courts of law, and others in establishing causal relationships, settling disputes, determining liability, and developing repair design documentation.

The diverse background of our engineers allows Isett’s Forensic Department to assist clients with all aspects of structural building damage. Our team of forensic and structural design engineers can be on site from the initial damage assessment through to completion of construction, providing single-source repair and restoration services for residential, commercial, industrial, and institutional clients.

Our department is on-call to address structural emergencies, such as collapses and failures, which can occur after work hours.
