Forensic Architecture

ASG® has conducted extensive investigative fieldwork and research to determine the causes of building component failure, building non-performance, general non-compliance to construction documents, or non-compliance to the normal established standard of care in the design and/or construction of numerous projects. This is a specialized skill requiring extensive knowledge of building systems and their components, requisite analytical measures, and the ability to communicate that information clearly and effectively to establish a credible explanation of the defect or non-compliance. ASG® has helped numerous clients through logical and detailed problem investigations, and in developing solution oriented designs and processes to correct difficult, complex and challenging problems.

ASG’s unique qualifications, third-party analysis, and understanding of all aspects of building design, construction and maintenance requirements, enables critical delivery of accurate information in a manner that may enable successful resolution of issues outside a court of law, either through mediation or arbitration..

However, if necessary and as a natural extension of our services, ASG has staff qualified in various circuit, district, and federal Courts as a testifying expert on design and construction related issues. ASG’s experts have supplied both plaintiffs and defendants with objective third party reviews and analyses.
