Building Enclosure Consulting

Although not all our work results are documented in writing, reports generally give a good example of what we do:

• example of a roof moisture survey report prepared for an owner.
• example of a leak investigation report prepared for an owner.
• example of a facade maintenance inspection report prepared for an owner.
• example of a leak investigation report accompanied with remedial work specifications.
• example of a long-term moisture monitoring report. The investigation was triggered by warping of a mill-work in a brand new building.
• example of a hail damage report prepared for an insurance adjuster.
• example of a SHGC (without edge access) report prepared for an owner, which required our designing, building, and calibrating a custom apparatus.
• example of a 3D thermal curtain wall FEA report prepared for a glazing subcontractor.

Building Enclosure Consulting is an independent consulting and diagnostic architectural engineering company devoted to sciences and technology of building enclosures. We serve only one master: YOU.

Here is the link to our main website.

We provide 3D FEA Computer Simulation, building enclosure commissioning, diagnostic services, and forensic investigations, such as rain intrusion investigations.  We own a state-of-the-art specialized equipment used for building enclosure investigations and testing, with which we serve the east half of the U.S. and Caribbean Archipelago.

The father of modern architecture, Frank Lloyd Wright once said “if the roof doesn’t leak, the architect has not been creative enough,” and it seems many architects followed this motto, consequently making building occupants miserable, and they in turn made the forensic construction analysis a thriving business. To revert this tendency, we are also devoted to education of our customers and other building enclosure consultants in sciences and technology of building enclosures.
