Epic Forensics & Engineering

What Epic Forensics & Engineering does

Epic Forensics & Engineering Inc. is a West Palm Beach-headquartered, Florida-only professional services firm founded in 2013 that delivers forensic engineering, property condition assessment, insurance claims support, construction management, and design services to condominium associations, property developers, insurance carriers, and individual property owners. The firm operates through five interconnected practice areas — Consulting, Insurance, Construction, Design, and Parks & Recreation — covering more than 25 specialized service lines including 558/718 Turnover Reports, 40-Year Building Recertifications, Senate Bill 4D Structural Integrity Reserve Studies, moisture and thermal forensics, failure analysis, catastrophe response, marina/seawall evaluation, and multi-discipline engineering design (structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, transportation). Service delivery is anchored to an in-house team of licensed engineers and licensed general contractors, enabling single-firm execution across forensic investigation, design, and construction verification phases.

The firm's underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: scientific observation, laboratory testing, and accepted engineering practices form the methodological backbone, with no disclosed AI/ML, automation, or software product layer. Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with pricing tailored to scope and complexity and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is consultative enterprise field sales, with project intake via a website submission form followed by direct engagement; LinkedIn and the corporate website are the principal marketing channels, and there is no evidence of paid advertising, channel partnerships, or reseller arrangements.

Epic maintains four Florida offices (West Palm Beach corporate and construction headquarters, Miami, Orlando) and lists 40+ named clients on its website, almost all Florida residential condominium developments and property managers including Trump Towers, Turnberry Ocean Colony, Oceania, Biscayne Beach, Midtown-Doral, Castle Group, and First Service. No revenue, headcount trend, funding, M&A, or major leadership change data is publicly available; Rene Portieles II is identified as CEO. The firm's strategic posture is built around Florida-specific regulatory mandates (40-Year Recertifications, SB 4D reserve studies) that produce recurring, compliance-driven demand from the state's condominium association market.
