BE3I Engineers

Rigorous legal expertise to document structural problems, understand their origin, and obtain a clear technical opinion in the context of a dispute, a hidden defect, or a loss event.

Legal expertise to support your case

BE3I conducts your legal and technical building structure assessments in the Greater Montreal area. When a problem arises following a hidden defect, poor workmanship, a disaster, or a disagreement between parties, our engineers perform a rigorous analysis of the situation to document the observed defects and determine their probable causes.

Our team carries out the necessary inspections, surveys, and analyses to assess the condition of the structural elements in question. Depending on the nature of the file, an expert engineer can also estimate the extent of the corrective work required and explain the technical consequences of the observed problems.

Following its analysis, BE3I can produce a sealed expert report presenting the observations, technical findings, probable causes of the problem, and appropriate recommendations. Our engineers can also act as expert witnesses and assist your lawyer in understanding the structural issues of the case. Our goal is to provide a clear, impartial, and solidly documented technical analysis.
