What is 30?

From its inception, our firm has built a reputation for reporting facts intelligently, accurately, thoroughly, and without bias. Yes, we’re forensic investigators, but in a way, we’re really reporters. And that got us thinking. Years ago, when newspaper reporters submitted final copy to be published, they would type “-30-” at the bottom centre of the page. This would signify to the typesetter that it was the end of the piece, that the facts were all there—the whole story. We couldn’t think of a better way to describe who we are, and what we do.

The Evolution of 30

30 Forensic Engineering was founded in Toronto, Ontario, marking the beginning of what would become one of Canada’s largest multidisciplinary forensic firms.

2002

The company established its headquarters at 40 University Avenue in Toronto over two decades ago, and it remains the operational hub today.

2003

The inaugural 'Big Mingle' event was launched in Toronto, establishing a lasting industry tradition for insurance professionals to connect and network, which still continues today.

2006

The company expanded its services internationally, conducting its first investigation in Asia, specifically in the Kyrgyz Republic.

2010

Marking a decade of innovation and expertise in forensic investigations we celebrated our 10th anniversary. The company also introduced the inaugural ‘Big Divot’ industry golf tournament in Uxbridge, Ontario, providing another opportunity for industry professionals to connect.

2012

2016 was a transformative year as the company rebranded to 30 Forensic Engineering, reflecting its multidisciplinary approach and continued growth. The firm also expanded its global reach with investigations in South America (Brazil) and Europe (Russia) and hosted the 10th annual ‘Big Mingle’ event in Toronto.

2016

We restructured our ownership, becoming one of Canada's largest employee-owned, independent multidisciplinary forensic engineering firms—a true Canadian success story. The firm reached 10,000 completed investigations, expanded to Ottawa, and conducted its first investigation in Africa (Egypt).

2018

The company continued its Canadian expansion by opening an office in Vancouver, solidifying its presence in Western Canada.
