Exterior Wall Consulting
Exterior wall consulting helps ensure your building’s facade performs reliably over time. Wall systems are key to protecting structures from water, weather, and energy loss. Whether you’re designing a new building or fixing issues with an existing one, our experts can help.
What is Exterior Wall Consulting?
This service includes reviewing façade systems—brick, EIFS, precast, or panels—for design accuracy, constructability, and code compliance. For example, we analyze transitions, flashing details, and barrier continuity. Additionally, we work with architects and contractors to resolve issues before they appear on site.

- Prevent leaks, material failure, or facade damage
- Improve the performance of air, moisture, and thermal barriers
