Building Forensics Services

What is Building Forensics?

Building forensics applies scientific investigative methods to evaluate both existing and historical conditions in order to uncover the root causes of building performance issues. In this context, building forensics focuses on the analysis of a structure, its systems, and the way those components interact as a whole.

FSI’s experienced team conducts thorough evaluations of building integrity through detailed physical inspections, probing, testing, and analysis. By combining technical expertise with hands-on investigation, we identify underlying conditions that may not be visible at the surface.

Why might you need Building Forensics services?

Building forensics services are often needed when a building owner, property manager, or board member observes unusual or concerning conditions. These may include ventilation issues, water intrusion, cracking, uneven floors, or other signs of distress.

A forensic investigation allows our team to pinpoint the causes of these failures and assess their impact on the building’s performance. With this information, FSI provides clear, actionable recommendations to support effective repairs and restoration—delivering solutions designed for long-term durability and performance.
