We transform soft spatial/visual patterns into hard evidence about the functional/economic condition of buildings and places. We work in two areas, due diligence/design testing and dispute resolution and what we know from one feeds into the other.

due diligence

building & site design, selection and development

urban design and planning for economic development
corporate real estate for knowledge work

dispute resolution

access takings — eminent domain; police power
architectural copyright & trade dress
owner-builder-designer-user negligence disputes
premises liability — plaintiff; defendant
public space —public forum; crime; peddling and vending
