Mr. Jason Hirschi is a licensed professional engineer in multiple jurisdictions throughout the United States. He has 13 years of experience as both a structural design engineer and a forensic engineer. His design background includes wood, steel, and concrete framed structures such as hotels, condominium buildings, retail facilities, and large multi-story mixed-use commercial projects. With origins in design engineering, he brings a strong understanding of structural behavior to his forensic practice, allowing him to effectively evaluate existing buildings for deficiencies and failures. Mr. Hirschi frequently evaluates residential, multi-family, commercial, and industrial structures.
Mr. Hirschi regularly practices engineering in regions with varying climate zones and varying design considerations. He is knowledgeable with the latest building codes, construction techniques, non-destructive testing methods and many other aspects of forensic engineering. He is experienced in conducting investigations involving a wide range of environmental, structural, and construction‑related failure mechanisms.

Mr. Hirschi’s expertise includes:

• Structural collapse origin‑and‑cause analysis
• Evaluation of structures damaged due to vehicle impacts
• Evaluation of flood‑damaged structures
• Water intrusion investigations
• Evaluation of structural members exposed to fire and heat
• Evaluation of structures damaged due to snow, wind, and impact loads
• Cold‑formed steel design and evaluation
• Post‑event condition assessments (hail, hurricane, derecho, tornado, wildfire, earthquake)
• Foundation distress and settlement evaluations
• Structural vibration, deflection, and serviceability assessments
• Analysis of construction defects, workmanship issues, and material failures
• Assessment of code‑compliance concerns and load‑path discontinuities
• Hail damage evaluation for roofs, siding, and exterior cladding
• Evaluation of structural damage due to differential movement or soil issues
• Use of non‑destructive testing tools (thermal imaging, moisture meters, borescopes)
