“Why should I retain a Forensic Contractor?”
As a Forensic Contractor, S.C. Wright Construction, Inc. and its team of
professionals have been specifically trained to observe, collect, maintain and
preserve forensic evidence that may exist during the performance of our
services. This is of vital importance should the situation become a litigation
file.
As a Forensic Contractor, S.C. Wright Construction, Inc. can testify regarding
Standard-Of-Care and Standard-Of-Practice. We are retained on behalf of a Builder/General Contractor as well as the
subcontractor and material supplier trades. We regularly testify regarding construction sequencing, cost-of-repair and
means-and-methods of repair. Architects/Engineers are limited in their capacity because typically they are
involved only in design in not the operations of the construction. In addition, Architects/Engineers will not typically qualify to opine on
subcontractor issues.
S.C. Wright Construction, Inc. is an active construction company with a full
construction department. When we create a forensic Cost of Repair, the cost of repair can be considered a
Bid to perform the work. In other words, our Cost of Repair is a real life cost…not a hypothetical or theoretical cost.
“What is Destructive Testing?”
Destructive Testing is the opportunity to test and open the building to observe
the manner in which it was constructed and identify the specific mode of
failure, if any. S.C. Wright Construction, Inc. destructive testing crews have been skillfully
trained to “peel-the-onion”; we carefully remove layer-by-layer in order to document and identify the
precise cause of the issue. Our crews have also been trained in the proper methods of protection to
occupants and personal property, thus eliminating costly follow-up issues with
occupants and/or owners.
“Are special inspection tools required –what tools do you have?”
YES. We employ a vast array of specialized and certified testing equipment to aid in
our forensic analysis. Our team of experts have been trained to know when and how to use each of the
testing equipment in our inventory, including: water testing spray racks,
infra-red thermal imaging cameras, surface moisture meters, penetrating
moisture meters, bore-scope, and other equipment. All of our testing equipment is continuously re-calibrated and re-certified per
manufacturers’ recommendations and schedules.
