We deliver a new brand of quality control that  fills voids not typically addressed by conventional project documentation and field observations.  Where current paradigms draw lines between contractor, construction manager, and architect, we see opportunities to vastly improve the design intent through proper implementation, testing, modeling, and improved communication.  As specialists in architectural forensics, we possess the technical competency to ensure that the job is done right.   From the studio to the job site, we deliver solutions-based approaches that avoid costly mistakes thereby reducing operational downtimes, lost revenues, and liability.    

Central to our oversight services is the utilization of Field Condition Reports (FCRs), a near-real-time means for communicating specific site observations with building owners, architects, general contractors, and subtrades.   Field Conditions Reports provide concise accounts of conditions having high potentials for affecting 1) scope of work, 2) work quality, or 3) project schedule.   To facilitate resolution, condition recommendations are issued as part of each FCR.  Our refined process reduces risks, provides exceptional documentation, and prevents the need for destructive testing or tear-offs.   

Whether the project involves new construction, major remodels, or building envelope retrofits, our services offer the strictest attention to quality assurance.
