Independent expert opinion that stands up in court

For solicitors, barristers, insurers, loss adjusters and remediators. What we provide is defensibility: an independent opinion on indoor environmental exposure that survives cross-examination. We assess the environment and the exposure, and we do not sell the remediation.

Why our opinion holds

Defensibility, not just testing

What makes a report survive cross-examination: a documented method, corroboration across techniques, and an independent author with nothing to sell but the science.

The IER framework

A structured Indoor Environmental Review that ties results to exposure, not just numbers on a page.

Chain of custody

Documented handling from sample to result, so the evidence holds up under scrutiny.

Multi-method concordance

MSqPCR / ERMI, microscopy and culture read together, so findings are corroborated across methods.

Expert Witness Code compliance

Reports and testimony prepared to the standard the court expects.

Published & experienced

Peer-reviewed publications and more than 15 years of forensic mycology.

Independent by design

We assess the environment and occupant exposure. We do not sell the remediation, so our opinion has nothing to sell but the truth.

De-identified outcomes

AFCA determination overturned

A de-identified matter where an expert-witness report supported a determination that returned a high-value home to saleable.

A "no mould" finding reversed
