A forensic inspection duration depends on the property’s size and the number of issues in dispute; a focused single-issue inspection may take a few hours, while a whole-house assessment can require multiple visits. During the inspection, Först Consulting Group documents conditions photographically, takes measurements, performs non-destructive diagnostics such as thermal imaging where relevant, and — only where access is authorized and agreed in advance — conducts limited destructive investigation to expose concealed conditions. On-site inspection hours are scheduled Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with off-hours work available subject to surcharge. Because concealed conditions drive many disputes, access terms are confirmed before the visit to avoid canceled or incomplete inspections.
