Services
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.
Consulting
Report
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.
Homeowner Services
Report
As part of our Homeowner Services, we help you to understand a construction contract, which can protect you from unwelcome surprises. That is why Forst Consulting Group recommends having a professional review your contract before you sign.
A construction contract review protects you, as the homeowner, for if you do not understand your responsibilities, the contractor's promises, or the language laid out in the construction contract, future challenges can occur.For example, many homeowners may not know that in most contracts, unforeseen construction costs are generally the responsibility of the homeowner.

Home Testing
Report
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.
Home Inspections
Report
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.
