Detailed Description

An AZTA Forensic Engineering Desktop Study is a cost-effective structural evaluation conducted remotely by our expert engineers. By analyzing documents, photos, and other provided evidence, we can offer a professional opinion on the nature of a structural issue, assess potential causes, and provide guidance on next steps, all without the need for an on-site inspection.

You may need this service if you are in a remote location where a site visit is difficult or cost-prohibitive. You have a comprehensive set of documents (e.g., plans, photos, other inspection reports) and need a second opinion from a forensic specialist. You are in the very early stages of assessing an issue and want a preliminary professional opinion before committing to a full site investigation. Or you are an insurance or legal professional seeking an initial review of a case file.
