Building Forensics
Service Details
FSA staff are expertly trained and ideally suited for building forensic investigative work. We intimately understand the cause-effect relationship between building elements, time, and their environment, because we have observed, measured, and reported on so many examples, from an objective, knowledgeable, and experienced perspective.
This perspective benefits FSA in both our routine investigations and those involving claims and disputes.
