Forensic Research
MZA investigates the historical uses, construction and condition of facilities and sites to determine the building, infrastructure, and environmental changes over time. This documentation provides the basis for expert opinion pertaining to changes in buildings and site conditions spanning years or even decades.
Literature and Document Research
Our technical literature review capabilities are invaluable in determining the suitability of a product for a certain application or the historical "state-of-the-art" of a product. This is especially useful in product liability or construction defect situations.
Forensic Library Resources
MZA maintains a vast architectural and technical library used as a resource in forensic investigations. This library includes historic architectural and engineering handbooks, texts, specification manuals, practice handbooks, and materials handbooks, making it possible to duplicate the decision-making process of by-gone design and construction professionals.
