Brendan commenced Forensic Engineering and Insurance Specialisation when he joined Crawford and Company in September 2013 as a Forensic Structural and Civil Engineer leading to an Engineering Manager role with them. Previous forensic investigations undertaken by Brendan commissioned by Building Consultants, Insurance Loss Adjusters and Insurance Lawyers have drawn on his extensive multidisciplinary engineering consulting and specialist contracting background.

Aside from the experience and capabilities of its Principal, BEIS service is enhanced by effective networking with a range of professionals and specialists to provide the necessary input required for complete successful project delivery and matter handling.

BEIS understands that client needs continually adapt to changing Technology and Business Environment. Needs also differ in terms of client preferences, such as preferred construction methods, desired format for engineering documentation, project resources available, time constraints, & other project/commission needs.

It is the Consultant’s job to develop effective Client Brief to clearly find these needs, rather than just a solution to meet technical requirement only. BEIS endeavors to do this for all clients and matters.
