Services for contractors, owners, project teams & attorneys

A technical basis
for the next decision.

Plan a construction operation, evaluate a temporary condition, investigate property damage or clarify a disputed technical issue. The capabilities below describe future scopes; professional engineering engagements are currently paused.

01

Construction engineering

When drawings meet field constraints, the proposed solution needs a clear technical basis. KMF can help review the construction approach, identify interfaces and organize the engineering information needed for a decision.

  • Constructability and sequence review
  • Field engineering and proposed modifications
  • Construction methods, access and site constraints
  • Technical review of plans and submittals

The agreed deliverable may be a documented review, construction-method plan or engineering input for project coordination.

02

Critical lifts & temporary works

Temporary loads and construction operations require their own checks. Define the lift or support arrangement, establish the inputs and assumptions, and identify the review requirements before the work proceeds.

  • Critical-lift design and planning
  • Temporary support and shoring
  • Construction-stage conditions and sequencing
  • Loads, configurations and interface coordination

Scopes may include engineered plans and a documented technical basis. Contractor responsibilities, specialist input and required approvals are established during scoping.

03

Property damage & forensic investigation

Determine what the evidence supports before selecting a repair approach or advancing a claim. KMF examines site conditions alongside plans, photographs, maintenance history and construction records to evaluate possible causes and contributing factors.

  • Structural and property-damage assessment
  • Water intrusion and building-envelope concerns
  • Construction defects and incident review
  • Evaluation of causes, alternatives and evidence gaps

Findings and recommendations reflect the agreed scope and available evidence.

See KMF investigation examples
04

Technical dispute support

Turn a scattered project record into an organized technical account. Support can address the sequence of events, the basis of competing assertions and what remains unresolved.

  • Document, photograph and construction-video review
  • Technical chronology and evidence organization
  • Assessment of engineering assertions and findings
  • Reports and technical support for counsel

Deposition, testimony and other deliverables are discussed as part of the scope.

Start with the decision and the available information.

Tell KMF the location, the engineering or damage question, the dates that matter and which records are available. Site access, testing, specialist input, deliverables, fees, timing and jurisdictional requirements are confirmed for the assignment.

Let’s define
the work.

For a future assignment, tell us about the project or property, the engineering need and important dates. We can discuss the available information and what the work may require.
