EFI Global, Inc. services

We have performed thousands of forensic structural investigations ranging from single-family residential buildings to multi-lane highway bridges and high-rise buildings throughout the world. Our experienced civil and structural engineers bring a clear and pragmatic perspective to complex failure related losses that only years of experience in forensics, design and construction can bring. This diverse experience allows us to respond to virtually any type of failure regardless of structure type or location.

Our materials science team has comprehensive expertise in all components of engineering, ranging from consulting, project management, design and risk-based inspection, to failure analysis, research and testing and expert witness testimony, with experience covering all material applications including metallurgy, polymers, composites and ceramics.

Effective construction management requires the ability to provide and apply a number of concurrent services from pre-through post-construction. Our multi-disciplinary professionals augment the owner`s staff with feasibility level planning, design, construction, engineering and management expertise. Whether it is the execution of a retrofit design, remediation, renovation of an existing building or the construction of a new facility, our dedicated professionals ensure each phase of the project is successfully executed.

Collecting data and making observations is an important first step in identifying distress and other potential problem areas of building envelopes. However, in order to mitigate loss, an assessment must be performed in concert with an appropriate diagnosis and course of action, which can only be determined by building envelope consultants.

A building’s roof system is one of its most susceptible components with respect to quality of installation, maintenance, and weather, with failure due to any of these variables resulting in costly repairs — that’s why we provide a full-range of roofing services to assist building owners, property managers, consultants and insurance companies design, construct, evaluate and maintain theirs. We specialize in roof consulting, roof uplift resistant testing, asset management, construction QA/QC, water and air infiltration testing and a number of qualitative evaluation services such as infrared thermography and moisture mapping for a variety of roofing systems including commercial, residential, warehouses, schools, hospitals and government facilities.
