Forensics

At Blue Chip Builders, we use the latest techniques in construction forensics to identify the root cause of most any construction problem.

A water stain, cracked wallboard, nail pops, mold or a rotten baseboard is often symptomatic of a larger underlying issue. Identifying a problem early is the key to minimizing damage and costly repairs.

Blue Chip Builders has over 30 years of experience in collaborating with forensic engineers, attorneys, and other industry experts providing testimony, outlying repairs, cost analyst, and cost matrix.
