Abstract
Every year billions of dollars are invested in residential and light commercial construction and resale. Often times, an engineer's evaluation of the condition of the property is required by one or more of the parties involved in the transaction. A significant portion of these evaluations will focus on the foundation and many will require the use of forensic methods. For this reason, forensic engineers are frequently selected as the engineer of choice to perform these evaluations.
