BUILDING FORENSICS: Design for success


Sometimes buildings or building systems fail. Put another way, unless properly maintained, all buildings or their systems will fail at some time. Qubink has unique insight into how and why buildings fail. We have provided consulting services for historic buildings; assisted clients with their real estate holdings over multiple decades (affording the opportunity to observe how construction details and methods stand the test of time); worked with attorneys and other professionals acting as an expert witness in construction defect arbitration; and successfully aided insurance claims after building system failures.

Qubink’s experience with building forensics provides unique insights into the construction details and building systems that effectively integrate disparate trades to deliver a durable, lasting building.
