The majority of building envelope construction failures happen because the physio-chemical properties of a specified material or a value-engineered material do not match its intended purpose. For instance, the physio-chemical properties of caulking cannot fulfill the intended purpose for a watertight 2” expansion joint opening.
As experts in the field of the chemical analysis of construction materials, IPS Engineering Group defines the exact cause of material failure that has resulted in water intrusion, stucco cracks, paver ‘efflorescence’, roofing issues, etc. and provides irrefutable testimony that is identifiable as well as comprehensive for the most discerning arbitrator, judge or jury.
Since IPS Engineering Group is a licensed structural engineering firm with a specialization in the physio-chemical properties of construction materials, we can assist you with all aspects of your construction litigation.
