Inspections

On-site investigations are conducted by a principal investigator with a respected voice in the tile industry. Our investigations provide an unbiased analysis of the situation written in a confidential report based on up-to-date industry methods and standards with photographic documentation.

Forensic Deconstruction

Our investigations include the ability to properly deconstruct installations to determine the cause of a failure when it isn't observable from the surface. This in-depth examination can determine if the proper methods, standards and materials were used on a project.

Installation Oversight

Our field representation and quality control monitoring services can help ensure that the proper standards and methods are being used on a project, keeping schedules and budgets on track, as well as providing confidence an installation is both beautiful and lasting. 

Pre-construction Quality Control

Our preconstruction consultation services can identify systems and details that need attention.  Solutions include appropriate materials, methods and labor specifications which can help save time and money later in construction, especially with technically challenging projects. 

Architectural and construction plans with axes, dimensions, structure and a scalimeter.

Specification Review

When done right, specifications provide the details required for a successful tile installation. With more than three decades as a tile contractor, we can help make sure project specifications provide the technical requirements needed for a project to meet national industry standards.

Expert Testimony

Our ability to analyze facts involved an installation failure and our in-depth knowledge of national standards provides us the adept ability to represent both plaintiffs and defendants as a consultant and/or expert witness under oath at deposition, arbitration and in court testimony.
