Forensic Construction Consulting is an investigative company dedicated to analyzing and assisting in the resolution of building failures. Our company, has been providing solutions to complex building issues and consulting for building owners, developers, construction companies, attorneys and insurance companies for over a decade. The brain-child of construction guru Craig Kobza, Forensic Construction Consulting was established in 2001. Kobza, who has more than 35 years of experience in specialty construction and who was already running a custom home building, remodeling, and commercial construction company decided to apply his expertise to construction forensics. Kobza found in case-after-case and issue-after-issue, that it was difficult for clients, homeowners, building owners – even attorneys and insurance personnel – to truly understand their construction issues and move forward in a clear direction on cases and projects where something had gone wrong. Kobza’s other enterprise – The Aerial Companies – a high end commercial and residential construction firm, that at one point had more than 200 employees on staff and and has worked on more than $500 million dollars in construction projects– is a vital part of our process at Forensic Construction Consulting.
