He has provided many clients with forensic engineering (investigative) services where proper evaluation of problems and defects is required to facilitate repair or to determine damages. Mr. Zgraggen has extensive experience in wood frame construction, engineered wood products, truss components and structural wood and timber in design, forensic investigation, evaluation and remediation. He has designed light gage steel, steel frames and bents, precast concrete and foundations. He has worked with numerous builders and contractors and with many different codes.
Mr. Zgraggen provides extensive reports, surveys and data collection for collapsed, under-built or damaged structures.
