Construction Forensics& Construction Management Services
Two disciplines, one integrated team. Whether you're building a case or rebuilding a project, PCC brings the same standard of technical rigor to both tracks below.
Construction Forensics & Expert Witness Services
When a project fails (structurally, financially, or contractually), someone needs to determine why, defensibly. PCC's forensic team investigates the physical evidence, reconstructs the sequence of failure and delivers findings built to withstand deposition and cross-examination.
Forensic data reveals what went wrong in previous projects, intelligence that feeds directly into our Construction Management team's preventative oversight, helping new builds avoid the specific material and design failures that end up in litigation.
Structural & Building Envelope Failure Analysis
Root-cause investigation of structural distress, water intrusion, cladding failure and other envelope-related defects.
Premises Liability Investigation
Site-safety and condition analysis supporting slip-and-fall, collapse and other premises liability matters, including OSHA, Cal/OSHA and New York Labor Law claims. State-specific detail available on our state guide pages.
Expert Witness Testimony & Deposition Support
Principals who can translate technical failure analysis into testimony a judge and jury can act on.
Fiscal & Damage Valuation
Cost-of-repair modeling and damage quantification, verified line-by-line against what was actually claimed.
Evidence Preservation & Diagnostic Testing
Field documentation, sampling and diagnostic testing performed to a standard that holds up as admissible evidence.
Code Compliance & Standard-of-Care Review
Evaluation of a project against the codes, ordinances and industry standard of care in effect at the time of construction.
How a Forensics Engagement Runs
- Intake & conflict check: we confirm there's no conflict before any file is opened.
- Site investigation & diagnostics: field inspection, sampling and testing of the physical evidence.
- Root-cause analysis: reconstructing the sequence and mechanism of failure.
- Report & expert opinion: findings documented to a standard built for scrutiny.
- Deposition & trial support: testimony that holds up under cross-examination.
Construction defect and liability claims are governed by strict statutes of limitations and discovery deadlines. The earlier a forensic investigation begins, the stronger the evidentiary record; waiting rarely works in your favor. State-specific deadlines vary; see our state guides or contact us directly.
Backed by decades of combined field, design and forensic experience across our team.
Construction Management Services
Whether you're rebuilding after a settled claim or overseeing new construction, PCC acts as your independent Owner's Representative, keeping the project on schedule, on budget and built to the standard it should be.
CM services work as a standalone project-oversight tool or as a post-litigation recovery phase and can be offered separately for any project. Because our team actively manages current job sites, our forensic repair estimates and expert opinions stay grounded in modern building codes and real-world market costs, not just theory.
Owner's Representative Oversight
Independent project oversight acting in the owner's interest from planning through closeout.
Post-Settlement Remediation Management
Managing the rebuild once litigation has settled, so the resolution actually gets built correctly.
Schedule & Delay Governance
Critical Path Method (CPM) scheduling and delay analysis to keep the project moving and accountable.
Standard-of-Care Evaluations
Pre-construction risk review and standard-of-care evaluation before work begins, not after something fails.
Budget Oversight & Change Order Review
Independent review of costs and change orders so the budget reflects the actual scope of work.
Contractor & Subcontractor Coordination
Day-to-day coordination across trades to keep the project aligned with plans, codes and schedule.
How a Construction Management Engagement Runs
- Discovery & scope definition: understanding the project, the site and the goal.
- Planning & procurement oversight: reviewing bids, contracts and the proposed schedule.
- Active construction oversight: on-the-ground management as your representative, not the contractor's.
- Quality & standard-of-care verification: confirming the work matches what was promised.
- Closeout & owner handoff: a documented, defensible record at project completion.
The same team that investigates why construction fails also manages construction so it doesn't.
Whichever track applies to you, the first conversation costs nothing.
