We’re proud to leave our mark on cityscapes in Chicago and across the U.S. Our clients build great things.

Have an Expert at Your Side

If things go really wrong with a project we’re a strong and committed partner for general contractors and construction companies facing claims. litigation. and other challenges. We are familiar with the complexities ot cases involving building envelope failure and have the experience to provide investigative services and expert testimony.

Being Proactive Pays Off in Quality

In construction, it’s normal to hope that all subcontractors and trades will do their jobs perfectly and complete everything on time. But this rarely happens. We act as a proactive partner helping GCs improve project success by inspecting and supervising manufacturing activities in the factory or installation activities on-site.

We help you identify and fix problems with the building envelope to keep projects on track and minimize delays, disputes, and costs.

We can also partner with you from the outset, implementing rigorous QC protocols to prevent projects from being derailed in the first place.

We offer advice on materials and methods for new building design or rehab of existing structures. Making the right choices up front saves time and money later.
