C.B. GOLDSMITH AND ASSOCIATES, INC.

C. B. Goldsmith and Associates, Inc. (CBGA) is a full service, veteran-owned, forensic architectural and consulting firm, specializing in the investigation, evaluation, and design of new and existing building enclosure systems, as well as dealing with the technical aspects of problems in construction. We have a broad scope of expertise related to roofing, painting, waterproofing, and building enclosure systems, and although a large percentage of our work relates to the analysis and correction of problems with existing construction, we are still a full-service architectural design firm that utilizes its knowledge of the building sciences to address complicated detailing to create innovative design solutions.

Our scope of services also includes building enclosure commissioning, independent design/document reviews, and third-party quality assurance evaluations. These services follow a formal review process to support the architect's design criteria and concepts; to verify conformance with local building codes; to evaluate details for compliance with generally accepted local and national industry standards; to adhere to the Owner's performance requirements, and to address issues related to constructability.

It is our mission to provide the best possible solutions for our clients. We bring to this effort a dedicated team of architects and building science professionals with specialized knowledge and backgrounds to achieve this goal. Our ability to target and diagnose highly complex construction issues is informed by years of investigating product, design, and workmanship defects, combined with industry knowledge and expertise established by our forensic consulting work in the legal arena. We are logical, thoughtful, and creative in our approach to problem solving, dedicated and hardworking, and responsive to our clients’ needs. We are very proud of the reputation we've built over our many years in business.
