Forensic Investigation and Expert Testimony San Rafael CA

Westward Builders is often contacted by a homeowner or attorney when there is an issue with a completed construction project. We are asked to do a forensic investigation to evaluate what happened, then report back to the attorney or homeowner. We often find that the contractor has failed, cheated, or cut a corner.

Forensic Investigation is all about litigation. Generally, what happens is that a home owner will say one thing, and the contractor will say something else. Then they sue each other. The attorneys will call Westward Builders in to find out what actually happened. We'll investigate everything and tell them what our findings are. Westward Builders can answer questions such as:

• What went wrong?
• How did this happen?
• When was this place built?
• Who built it?
• Was it built in the winter or the summer?
• What did the carpentry work look like?
• Was the contractor's expertise in wood or in concrete?
• Were they ignorant about geology?
• Are those water stains from when they built it or are they new?

We know how homes and building are put together, and can tell by looking at the framing whether a builder knew what he was doing. We can tell by looking at the foundation, the framing, and the crawlspace what year the structure was built. There are so many things to discover under a house.

Our years of experience and knowledge gives us the ability to analyze what was done, and why it was done. We can look at the layout and tell where the old house or addition was, if there was a deck there before, or why something is leaking. We'll perform a complete evaluation, and by the time we’re done, they'll know more about the house than they ever wanted to know.
