Forensic Investigation

Forensic investigation services support building owners, insurers, and legal teams when enclosure failures occur. RDH applies field observation, diagnostic testing, and construction record review to trace performance failures back to their source and develop defensible root cause analysis. Findings support targeted repair planning and, where needed, expert witness testimony for litigation, arbitration, or insurance proceedings.

• Investigation of performance failures uses field observation, testing, and design record review to identify the source and contributing factors of enclosure failures.
• Root cause hypothesis and analysis connects physical symptoms to technical mechanisms or construction sequencing problems, synthesized into documented conclusions.
• Expert witness support prepares defensible reports, visual exhibits, and testimony for litigation, arbitration, or insurance claims.
