Enclosure Diagnostics
Enclosure solutions
Before an enclosure design is finalized, it should be analyzed. Our diagnostics team develops solutions for both new construction and restoration projects to ensure the building envelope is perfected and interiors are protected.
Our expertise
Applying their keen acumen in building science, detailing, roofing, waterproofing, and systems testing, our diagnostics experts help clients protect their investments with high-performing enclosures that last. From our assessments, we develop recommendations for new designs, restorations, and building reuse strategies that are sustainable, maintainable, energy-efficient, durable, and attractive.
Façade Assessment, Repair, Recladding
Façades must control water, air, vapor, and heat transfer between the exterior and interior. They should also be beautiful. Our façade experts address all factors, so buildings are designed and constructed to be high performing and highly appealing. When non-destructive testing, observations, and exploratory openings reveal needed repairs and recladding, we employ advanced modeling to design the right solutions. We also provide additional expertise to ensure proper installation.
Building Enclosure Commissioning
Our Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) services go far beyond cursory enclosure reviews. Our team collaborates with owners, contractors, architects, and MEP engineers through all project phases to deliver durable, high-performance enclosures that perform as designed. Our thorough understanding of building science fundamentals paired with our practical construction know-how improves enclosure performance while reducing owner risk. We also help owners achieve LEED credits with our fundamental and enhanced BECx services.
Roofing and Waterproofing
Our team diagnoses and recommends remedies for the full range of water infiltration issues, from the top of the roof to the deepest below-grade levels. We’re experienced in all roofing configurations and materials, from low-slope systems of EPDM, PVC, TPO, modified bitumen, built-up, fluid-applied, and standing-seam metal, to steep-slope systems of metal, standing-seam, tile, slate, asphalt shingle, and wood.
