Forensic Property Documentation
Where the facts are fixed.
Defensible property documentation and litigation support for attorneys and insurers — on either side of the dispute.
We don't advocate.
We document.
Waypoint provides objective, standards-based documentation and analysis relied on by plaintiff counsel, defense counsel, and carriers alike. Our findings are developed from the physical record and measured against recognized standards — not shaped to a retaining party's theory. That neutrality is not a marketing position; it is the reason the work product survives scrutiny from both sides of a dispute.
Services
A three-phase arc from site to resolution.

Why Waypoint
Every chair at the table
20+ years across carrier claims, TPA operations, and restoration contracting. We know how each party builds its file — and where those files typically fail.
Standards-based
IICRC S500/S520, industry-standard estimating platforms (Xactimate, Cotality), applicable building codes, and documented chain of custody on every engagement.
Built for the record
Reports formatted for appraisal, examination under oath, deposition, and trial — with each opinion traceable to a documented observation.
