Forensic Bldg Solutions

Since its establishment in 2012, Forensic Building Solutions (FBS) has built a reputation as a leading provider of forensic defect reporting, dilapidation surveys and building consultancy across Melbourne, Australia. Led by Sharif Abraham — who brings almost thirty years’ experience as a site architect on major projects in Melbourne and overseas, and in private practice since 2000 — FBS offers precise, evidence-based advice tailored to your risk and procurement needs.

FBS’s core consultants are architects and structural engineers with 10–15 years of industry experience, supported by specialist collaborators in fields such as acoustic evaluation and vibration analysis. Strict adherence to Australian Standards, combined with forensic rigour, has made FBS a trusted partner to Melbourne's leading contractors, engineers and owners corporations. It is this precision and reliability that sets FBS apart, and has established it as a preferred consultant for organisations managing risk in building and infrastructure procurement.

"Every report we deliver has to stand up to scrutiny — in a dispute, in court, in a procurement decision. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, on every project, regardless of scale."
Sharif Abraham, Director
