Building Enclosure Consulting

What is Building Enclosure Consulting?

Building enclosure consulting is a professional service that evaluates, designs, and improves the physical barrier between a building’s interior and exterior environment. This includes roofs, walls, windows, and foundations — essentially anything that separates the indoors from the outdoors.

Consultants analyze factors like moisture intrusion, air leaks, energy loss, and material performance to ensure the building is safe, efficient, and long-lasting.
