Forensic Engineering Desktop Study

Document-Based Structural Evaluation

From $300

Service Overview

Cost-effective structural review based on documentation analysis. No site visit required - perfect for initial assessments.

Detailed Description

Our Forensic Engineering Desktop Study provides expert structural evaluation based solely on available documentation, offering a cost-effective alternative when site access isn't possible or when preliminary assessment is needed before committing to a full investigation.

This service is particularly valuable for insurance companies, legal professionals, and property owners who need expert opinion based on existing documentation such as building plans, previous reports, photographs, and correspondence. Our engineers can often identify key issues and provide valuable insights without the need for an immediate site visit.

The desktop study process involves comprehensive review of all available documentation, analysis of structural systems and details, identification of potential concerns, and provision of expert recommendations for further action. While not a substitute for on-site investigation when detailed assessment is required, it provides valuable preliminary insights that can guide decision-making and strategy development.
