Building Enclosure Design Consultants

Our building enclosure design consultants ensure that every component of your building envelope—roof, walls, foundation, windows—works in harmony to deliver performance. From new construction to retrofits, Inspec provides envelope solutions that boost energy efficiency, prevent water intrusion, and enhance structural resilience.

What Do Building Enclosure Design Consultants Do?

These professionals work closely with architects and engineers to evaluate building materials, detailing, and thermal continuity. Through strategic collaboration, we help design teams ensure their enclosures meet code, resist moisture, and support occupant comfort—right from the planning phase.
