Engineering Expertise Since Inception
MEP Forensics LLC: Dedicated to Defensible Expert Consulting in MEP Construction
Providing authoritative consulting and expert witness services in MEP construction.
Professional Principles Driving Our Consulting Services
MEP Forensics LLC's foundation is built on core values that uphold integrity, technical rigor, and clear communication, ensuring clients receive trustworthy expert consulting and reliable testimony consistently.
Bridging the Gap Between the Jobsite and the Courtroom
In construction litigation, you shouldn't have to retain multiple experts to analyze a single building failure.
MEP Forensics delivers an elite, dual-discipline edge. Led by a career contractor with three decades of active field operations, we provide comprehensive technical evaluation across both General Building Envelopes and complex Mechanical, HVAC, and Plumbing Assemblies.
Our technical analysis is driven by a unique background in U.S. Marine Corps Military Intelligence. We don't guess, speculate, or copy-paste template opinions. We apply a rigorous, intelligence-grade methodology to review plans, analyze project trail documentation, perform on-site forensics, and author ironclad, code-supported reports that hold up under heavy judicial scrutiny.
