FORENSIC SERVICES

UNBIASED, SCIENCE-BASED ANSWERS

FORENSIC & EXPERT WITNESS SERVICES

We specialize in forensics. And we believe that expert witnesses should actually perform like experts. We have performed root-cause analysis on thousands of distressed structures. We have served as expert witnesses in thousands of disputes arising from these claims of distress. And we have testified hundreds of times. Our depth of experience sets us apart. For over 25 years, developers, owners, contractors, insurance companies, public entities and law firms have trusted us to determine the source, cause, and extent of distress.

Building Envelope

Utilizing the latest forensic investigation methods and equipment, our building science experts provide insight into hidden or unforeseen conditions in the building envelope. We identify potential envelope issues before they become significant problems and regularly provide expert witness testimony concerning these issues.

Geotechnical + Foundation Engineering

Bryant was built on geotechnical forensic engineering. We even gave our services their own name: GEOFORENSICS® engineering services. We apply geoforensics any time there is a defect arising from a soil-structure interaction. Whether there is an issue in a home’s foundation, a retaining wall, a buried pipeline, a pavement structure, or a skyscraper’s foundation—we have the right experience.
