Trusted Where Buildings Fail Hardest
For over two decades I have diagnosed failures others missed: roofing systems, building envelopes, fire-resistant materials and solar-ready structures. Licensed PE, certified in inspection specialties that matter, and fluent in the language of contractors, insurers and attorneys. When a project needs an owner’s advocate who can read the drawings and the fine print, that’s the work I do.
