Proudly Independent and Unbiased

As an independent exterior wall design expert with more than two decades of experience, we understand the nuances in exterior wall construction that make the difference between performance success and failure. We have earned a reputation for providing truly unbiased field investigation, analysis and remediation of structural failures to make your building safe and energy efficient.

Our strict adherence to being impartial and confidential also makes us a preferred choice as an expert witness in cases involving exterior wall failure.

By examining the dynamics of climate, construction methods, materials and how components integrate with each other we provide customized, maintenance-free solutions that:

  • Work within the framework of the existing building
  • Incorporate the latest technology and code requirements
  • Are field tested for function and design
  • Maximize your renovation budget
  • Provide minimal disruption to existing tenants
Your ability to bring subject matter expertise to the table without bringing stakeholders on the defensive was extremely constructive. In helping to establish solutions, your efforts remained focused on building performance and not placing blame. This very collaborative approach helped drive us to an effective conclusion that was acceptable to all.
