Visual Consulting offers mock-up construction for presentations and detailed forensic documentation, supporting claims evaluation and legal proceedings. The firm’s services are designed to uncover root causes of structural and component failures, particularly those related to water intrusion and poor workmanship, with a focus on long-term durability and compliance with industry standards.
