Building Damage Investigation Expert

Buildings can suffer damage from a variety of sources, including both natural phenomena and man-made mistakes. Overloads due to snow and wind are among the most common causes of building failures. The investigator was almost never present when the disaster occurred. Therefore, a detailed “sherlock homes” approach is required, including studying the scene, interviewing witnesses, researching weather and building codes and other documents, performing rigorous analysis and calculations, and even modeling the structure and running statistical scenarios.
