Common Construction Defects & Challenges.
Westminster properties face unique environmental pressures that require specialized construction standards. We target issues specific to the North Metro landscape.
Soil Instability.
Much of the Westminster area is built on expansive clay. If foundations aren't properly engineered for these soil conditions, it can lead to severe structural heaving and interior damage.
Water Management.
In high-density developments, we frequently identify failures in the building envelope and moisture barriers that lead to hidden rot and mold.
Mechanical Systems.
Our team investigates failures in shared HVAC, fire suppression, and post-tension slabs common in Westminster’s newer mid-rise developments.
