AMEC, formerly BCI Engineers & Scientists, Inc., has provided forensic engineering and science services for more than 20 years. During this time, the Forensic Engineering & Science (FES) group has grown to more than 70 staff members who are dedicated to providing client service excellence.

Our staff of professionals includes engineers, geologists, and technicians that perform investigations throughout Florida. Each investigation is performed as a team to determine the type, cause, and remediation efforts needed for the satisfactory resolution of property damage insurance claims.

Property damage has many causes. The AMEC FES group has extensive experience with structural, geologic, and environmental factors including water damage, windstorm/hurricane damage, structural failure, foundation failure, and (the most commonly investigated) sinkhole activity.

AMEC staff performs desktop research that allows for an understanding of the geologic makeup before ever stepping foot on-site. It is through this dedication that our team has maintained accounts with the largest insurance carriers in the State.
