KMF client assignments

Real questions.
Useful engineering.

Origin and cause · Slope and structure

Separate slope failure from structural defects.

An origin-and-cause report clarified the loss and set immediate hazard-removal priorities.

Construction support · Water intrusion

Turn a damage diagnosis into a repair sequence.

Water-entry findings informed the contractor’s shoring layout, elevation controls and staged repair plan.

Construction damage · Forensic investigation · Expert support

Give counsel a technical basis for the claim.

A review of construction methods, containment and damage explained how neighboring-property protection fell short.

Water intrusion · Building envelope · Repair planning

Pinpoint the leaks others could not explain.

KMF pinpointed the leaks and defined repairs addressing waterproofing, damaged framing and drainage.
