Forensic investigation, specification writing, project management, and training for commercial buildings across Southeast Wisconsin. 30+ years of construction defect expertise.
Guardian originally developed its business and established its reputation investigating problems and rebuilding projects failing because of construction defects and misspecification.
With our understanding of air and moisture migration into buildings, general construction defects, and typical misspecifications, detailed investigative assessments are a regular component of our services. As a result of our experience in these areas, we have specific expertise in conducting thorough investigations in residential and commercial buildings located in Northern climates.
Through forensic investigations of building envelope construction defects, Guardian has gained considerable expertise in the application of rain screen principles, drainage planes, moisture management and in the application of air and vapor diffusion systems for Northern climatic building systems.
Guardian provides objective, high-quality specifications for residential and commercial buildings to both remedy existing construction defects as well as prevent misspecification of new projects.
