Independent technical investigation

Investigation & Dispute Resolution

Evidence-led investigation of window, door and hardware performance problems.

What the test tells you

Separate the symptom
from the cause.

Performance disputes are rarely helped by assumptions. A structured investigation can distinguish product design, manufacture, installation, interface and environmental factors — or show when more evidence is required.

Investigation work is scoped case by case. SIIGMATIC remains clear about the difference between observed evidence, measured results and engineering interpretation.

Typical scope

What we can
put under test.

01

Standards review

Identify the relevant performance requirement and what evidence exists.

02

Installation investigation

Examine interfaces, fixing, seals, drainage, alignment and site conditions.

03

Targeted testing

Recreate the suspected failure condition where useful and practical.

04

Comparative evidence

Compare installed behaviour with known-good or reference specimens where appropriate.

05

Technical reporting

Document observations, test results and the limitations of the investigation clearly.
