Först Consulting Group provides consultation, inspection services, and expert witness opinion and testimony for disputes, arbitration or court cases involving construction issues.

We represent homeowners, contractors, attorneys, and insurance companies. We offer:

CONSTRUCTION CONSULTATION

Many construction claims are based on visible errors; others can be based on time delays or cost overruns. Sometimes disputes arise in how each party views the discrepancy, and the need for forensic evidence can play an essential role in resolution. Först Consulting Group experts can consult with either side on disputes involving construction errors, construction defects, construction management, destructive testing, loss of productivity damages, and standards of conduct or performance. Contact us for a initial conversation.

CONSTRUCTION DEFECT INSPECTION

Först Consulting Group provides thorough construction defect inspection, or forensic investigative services, ranging from one room to an entire house, to identify construction issues, defect or violations that may come into play in a construction dispute. We look at designs, structures, materials, and installation processes, in order to understand and identify issues relating to construction procedures, code violations, material defects, site conditions, and quality of construction, down to the most subtle detail. In many cases, evidence produced in our inspection can be used to mitigate a case, or lead to its resolution without going to attorneys or to court.

DETAILED CONSTRUCTION INSPECTION REPORTS

We also generate exhaustive, detail-oriented reports on construction inspection, including explanation of the problem, how it can be fixed, estimated costs, and material lists. Our reports contain full explanations and proof of our findings—not just checklists—that may prove helpful in providing evidence needed for resolution, whether the issue is settled out of court or taken to trial.
