Case Studies

Foundation Failure Investigation — Tulsa Commercial Property

Client: Insurance adjuster handling a commercial property claim

Challenge: Commercial building experienced significant foundation cracking and floor settlement. Insurer needed root cause determination to adjudicate the claim.

Solution: Our PE performed a forensic investigation including soil borings review, foundation inspection, drainage analysis, and review of construction documents. Determined the failure was due to inadequate foundation design for local soil conditions — a construction defect, not an insurable event.

Result: Written report supported the insurer's coverage decision. Case resolved without litigation. Adjuster referred additional cases.
