If you're constructing a new home or your residence has recently undergone remodeling, an addition or other construction project, you as a homeowner may have noticed something that made you question the work. Even when performed by a licensed contractor, construction errors can occur, especially in hidden areas like inside walls, under flooring, and attic spaces.
If this has happened to you, you need a construction expert on your side-you need Forst Consulting Group. Often complex, construction defect claims require a comprehensive investigation to identify construction issues, defects or violations. Forst Consulting Group works with homeowners, builders, contractors, architects, attorneys and insurance companies to acquire the detailed information required to obtain a clear and concise objective for dispute resolution or construction litigation.

Services
Matthew Furlong founded Forst Consulting Group as an advocacy resource designed to help others with construction issues and disputes. Over the years, the company has grown to offer a wide variety of services including consulting, testing, inspections, documentation, litigation support, and expert witness testimony, as well as various homeowner services such as estate management and owner representation.
Since most homeowners are not construction experts themselves, it may be in your best interest to have a construction consultation before making major decisions on building, remodeling or restoring your property. When building or remodeling your home, your life is in an upheaval. You are already trying to balance already-busy schedules with the burden of managing your construction project.
Our Home Testing services include Thermal imaging tests that can be used as part of an overall residential or commercial inspection, or as a tool to detect larger issues. It is a non-invasive technology that enables Forst Consulting Group to detect and report on issues that cannot be observed with the human eye, such those hidden behind walls.
Studying and understanding building defects and their associated remediation is the basis of building pathology, much like pathology in medicine studies diseases and their potential treatments and cures. We consider building pathology the study of or holistic approach to building science and deficiencies.

Forst Consulting Group was extraordinary in the construction defect case against our contractor. The attention to detail in reporting and responsiveness to our concerns was invaluable. The whole experience was challenging, but we are so glad that we hired Forst Consulting. Our best interest seemed as if was always at the forefront of any discussion, which made the process easier for us.

He worked to our schedule when visiting the site and talked us through everything he observed in a manner that we could clearly understand. He took a strong evidence based approach by documenting his findings with careful measurements, photographs and testing adherence to both local and international building standards. When it came time to find a new contractor Matt assisted us in our search and helped
