WHAT WE OFFER
We offer a full array of building-related consulting services, but specialize in building envelope, structural, roofing, civil design, and construction consulting. You can expect a rapid response for insurance claims, commercial property condition assessments (PCA’s), pre-construction plan reviews, and litigation support.
BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION CONSULTING SERVICES
MHA staff have evaluated thousands of commercial, industrial, and residential structures from the inside out, aboveground and below. We help our clients understand the design, construction or product issue impacting the structure and how to address it. Our staff uses their experience, training, building codes, industry standards, and available product manufacturer’s data to determine the cause and subsequently, a reasonable repair method.
BUILDING ENVELOPE TESTING
Whether attempting to identify the source of a leak, evaluate a failing system, or verifying that new construction meets the design intent, MHA has the experience and expertise to assist with the evaluation of building components. MHA has completed testing services on a wide array of projects ranging from single-family homes in the Carolinas to 60+ story high rises in south Florida.
INSURANCE CLAIM INVESTIGATIONS
MHA’s staff has performed thousands of insurance claim investigations. We assign each claim to a professional with the appropriate expertise and experience to assess your claim. Our staff uses their experience, training, building codes, industry standards, and available product manufacturer’s data to answer your claim-related question. Following our investigation, we complete a clear, concise report that another engineer will peer review to ensure an objective analysis.
FORENSIC HURRICANE & NATURAL DISASTER CONSULTING
Storms and natural disasters require immediate attention to ensure the preservation of evidence and to allow adjustments to make quick claim decisions. Since the devastation of Hurricane Hugo in 1989, engineers at MooreHackney have evaluated thousands of commercial and residential structures for damage causation and salvageability. We have helped numerous clients respond to more than 24 named storms along the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic coasts.
PROPERTY CONDITION ASSESSMENTS & TURNOVER REPORTS
How well you understand your property is one of the critical elements of financial success during commercial acquisitions or turnovers between developers and owners. We can help make sure you know as much about the physical condition of your property as the seller, developer, or turnover inspector.
