About

Domeier Architects Inc is a forensic architecture and full-service design firm in Grantville, San Diego at 4694 Alvarado Canyon Rd K1, 92120, founded in 2009 by Eric Domeier, a licensed architect holding California license C31636 and AIA membership. The firm specializes in two distinct practice areas: new-construction architectural design for urban infill and multi-family residential projects, and forensic consulting that investigates building failures, construction defects, moisture intrusion, and code compliance issues for litigation teams, insurance carriers, developers, and HOAs. Domeier earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Missouri-Columbia and a Master's degree in architecture from North Carolina State University, and has served as a defense expert witness since 2003 across California, Arizona, and Nevada construction defect cases. General contractors working on multi-family and commercial projects in the Grantville and Mission Gorge corridor coordinate architectural submissions through firms on the Alvarado Canyon Road office corridor, and Attic Construction in College Area handles insulation and attic-space buildout that frequently requires architectural specification review. The forensic practice covers Type I steel-and-concrete towers through Type III and Type V podium wood-frame multifamily buildings, analyzing how wall assemblies, waterproofing systems, and material interfaces perform over time. Services include SB-800 documentation for California construction defect claims, destructive and non-destructive testing coordination, material sampling, code review, cost-of-repair estimating, delay claims analysis, and mediation support. The Alvarado Canyon Road office sits in a commercial park adjacent to the 8 freeway and the Grantville trolley station, positioning the firm along the Mission Gorge Road corridor that connects Grantville to Mission Trails Regional Park. Building envelope failures investigated by forensic architects frequently involve roofing system interfaces, and TAG Roofing & Solar in Grantville handles roof replacement and solar integration on the construction side of those same assembly types. Current staff includes registered architects, a landscape architecture graduate serving as senior project lead since 2015, and a rough-framing specialist who brings hands-on construction sequencing knowledge to forensic field investigations.
