Building Forensics

Investigation of  building damage, defects and occupant health

   Building Forensics undertake investigation of building damage from fire-flood  and construction defects including related  health issues likely to affect the occupants from VOCs damp or mould.
   State of art equipment is used to identify design or construction faults of the envelope and internal structure or components and samples are sent by overnight courier to world class economic laboratories in USA for immediate analysis.
   Typical investigations focus on  transfer or leakage of moisture, heat, and general Indoor Air Quality issues resulting from building design or construction defect.
  
 
Air sampling includes the identification of viable and non viable mould, its fragments and potential presence of "Toxic Mould" mycotoxins
