Professional Building Code Consultant
With the evolution of building codes & standards, technology, and design concepts, you need someone with technical code expertise to facilitate your project and mitigate risk. Our building code consulting services help you navigate the complex process of regulatory agencies to avoid delays, reduce costs, and expedite construction.
Our greatest value comes from our in-depth knowledge of the local, state and federal building codes that govern construction projects. As a building, fire, energy and mechanical code expert, we can help ensure your project progresses smoothly.
We also offer customized training and education programs around many topics including building, fire, energy and mechanical codes, permitting, construction control, testing and inspections, investigation and evaluation reports and customized safety programs.
Expert Witness and Testimony
Construction disputes can often be complicated, and it takes an expert to determine if a construction deficiency has occurred. In addition, unbiased documentation of the issues and facts is required. We bring 35 years of experience in residential and commercial construction to provide a unique and significant advantage to clients in need of litigation support.
Sometimes, construction disputes require the testimony of a construction expert witness who can provide an unbiased opinion, supported by facts. Areas we have expertise include building commissioning and final approval issues and accident and safety investigation and compliance analysis.
Building Code Compliance Analysis
Local and regional building codes are continually evolving. We can help you understand if a renovation, adaptive reuse or repair will trigger new regulatory requirements.
We work together with developers, owners, and architects to advise on zoning and building code regulations. Construction is analyzed for compliance with all city regulations. This can be an independent process used when evaluating properties, or be incorporated into the filing process.
