Q&A, LLC is an independent forensic engineering consulting firm providing engineering investigations, construction standard of care evaluations, technical analysis, and expert consulting services for the insurance, legal, construction, and property management industries.
We understand that every assignment has important financial, legal, and safety implications. Whether evaluating construction practices, investigating structural failures, assessing construction defects, or determining causation, our role is to provide objective engineering analysis that helps clients understand what happened, why it happened, and whether the work performed met the applicable standard of care.
Our work is guided by evidence, accepted construction & engineering principles, applicable codes and industry standards, and a commitment to delivering clear, well-supported findings. Every assignment is approached independently and without predetermined conclusions.
We believe every client deserves an unbiased evaluation, clear communication, and professional service from initial assignment through final report.
After decades of investigating structural failures, construction defects, property damage, and engineering issues, Pete Quinn recognized a common theme: clients weren't just looking for an engineer—they were looking for answers they could trust.
Throughout his career, Pete has worked with insurance carriers, attorneys, contractors, property owners, and businesses facing complex technical questions with significant financial and legal consequences. Time and again, he found that the most valuable service wasn't simply identifying what failed—it was providing an objective, evidence-based explanation that people could understand and confidently rely upon.
That philosophy became the foundation of Q&A, LLC.
Rather than building another engineering consulting firm focused on volume, Q&A was founded to provide something different: direct access to experienced engineering expertise, clear communication, and independent opinions grounded in accepted engineering principles and industry standards.
Pete's passion has always been the construction industry—particularly evaluating whether the design, construction, and actions of the parties involved met the applicable standard of care. Every assignment is approached with the same commitment to fairness, technical accuracy, and professional integrity, regardless of who retains us.
As a veteran-owned company, we believe our reputation is built one assignment at a time. That means taking the time to perform thorough investigations, following the evidence wherever it leads, and delivering opinions that can withstand technical scrutiny.
Our goal is simple:
To provide clients with clear answers to complex engineering questions while earning their trust through professionalism, responsiveness, and uncompromising objectivity.
At Q&A, LLC, we don't advocate for a side—we advocate for sound engineering.
While Q&A, LLC provides a broad range of forensic engineering services, our practice places particular emphasis on construction standard of care evaluations. We assist attorneys, insurance carriers, contractors, developers, and property owners by providing independent opinions regarding professional practice, construction performance, and technical causation.
