WEST can perform an examination of residential housing including single and multiple homes and apartment - condominium complexes. WEST will work with owners and managers of commercial structures and industrial plants for identification of defects in materials and construction techniques.

WEST can offer restoration or repair alternatives and recommend qualified contractors for problem correction. Most alternatives can be provided with a cost projection for correction of the defects discovered.

If requested, WEST will provide management assistance to the Owner or Property Manager in the correction of the defects independent of the any contractor employed.

In some difficult situations, assistance is available to attorneys in preparation of documentation leading to litigation of the situation. We can also assist Attorneys in litigation with expert witness testimony. WEST has assisted homeowners, condominium associations and attorneys to reach equitable and appropriate solutions.

WEST can assist owners in examination of structural deficiencies experienced with siding issues on frame construction  including moisture penetration in STUCCO, EIFS WOOD AND METAL SIDING applications is conducted.
