About Vibrationdamage.com

Vibrationdamage.com is a free, public service resource for those who have experienced damage in their homes or other structures, possibly as a result of vibration from construction activities. It also provides information and help for those who may have construction pending in their area and want to prevent damage. The site is directed mainly at homeowners, but responsible construction companies, attorneys, consultants and others with an interest in vibration damage or monitoring or construction damage claims may find the information useful.

We also maintain large databases of information on vibration damage occurrences around the world, provided by our visitors, and report the findings from those databases in both versions of the CVDG, with extensive content in the Professional Edition. Such information is the only publicly-available analysis of damage occurence, types, and circumstances anywhere in the world.

Vibrationdamage.com has a Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/vibrationdamage/. There, visitors can find additional vibration damage content not available on the Vibrationdamage.com or in the downloadable PDF, as well as leave their own comments and questions.

Our vibration damage-related sites are all standalone extensions of our main company site at https://silchemy.com. You can find out more about the broader range of our scientific consulting there, as well as learn about our research interests and contributions.


Paid Consulting

We write and run Vibrationdamage.com as a public service. If you need more help, we can also provide expertise in the following areas as paid consultants:

  • Help you understand vibration monitoring, both how it should be done and what results from it really mean, either in the context of vibration damage claims or in helping to avoid them.
  • Independently analyze vibration data sets and give you an unbiased view of what they really show and whether the studies were carried out properly
  • Serve as a scientific consultant and peer reviewer of reports for vibration monitoring firms
  • Provide instruction on the science of vibration damage for attorneys, construction firms, governmental entities and others with an interest in or responsibility for construction projects.
  • Serve as an expert witness in vibration damage cases
  • Help attorneys in such cases prepare for deposition of opposing expert witnesses
  • Serve as an expert peer reviewer for vibration monitoring reports and results
  • We do not currently perform vibration monitoring, although we can assist you in doing your own and analyzing the data for you.

    Consulting Rates

    Our current consulting rates are $400 (USD) per hour of billed work, with a required retainer of $4000 (USD), which covers the initial work. Work done outside the state of New Mexico is billed at a flat rate of $4000 (USD) per day. Reasonable and customary travel expenses are also billed to the client, if travel is necessary. We do not bill for time spent solely in travel. On a case-by-case basis, we may adjust these rates downward, at our sole option, for some non-profit organizations. Full terms and conditions are found in our consulting agreement.
