BUILDING EVALUATION & REHABILITATION

Building Envelope

The building envelope serves as the building's defense of nature-wind, rain, heat, and cold. A properly designed, constructed and maintained envelope should be up to the challenge, headache-free, for 30 to 50 years. Unfortunately, deficiencies in the design, detailing or construction, as well as ineffective maintenance programs, cause many building envelopes to fail prematurely. Signs of failure may be obvious—cracks, bulges, water infiltration, or collapse or subtle and less dramatic, such as energy inefficiency.

Our services encompass evaluation-physical probing, testing, and modeling the design and detailing of customized solution options, and onsite technical support during rehabilitation.

Every solution to a failing building envelope is unique and we provide innovative solutions that fit within the owners constraints.
