Facade Consulting Services

The facade is one of the most visible—and vulnerable—parts of a building. At Inspec, our facade consulting services help architects, developers, and building owners ensure long-lasting durability, performance, and beauty. We design with purpose and precision.

What Are Facade Consulting Services?

Facade consulting services include expert technical guidance for curtain walls, panel systems, rain screens, and specialty enclosures. We assist throughout design development, detailing, QA, and construction administration. Our consultants help bridge the gap between design intent and real-world performance.

In addition, we ensure thermal and moisture continuity and address constructability issues before they become costly problems. This proactive approach results in efficient, code-compliant, and high-performing façade systems.

Why Partner with a Façade Consultant?

• Prevent air and water infiltration in complex facade systems
• Improve thermal and moisture performance across all transitions
• Enhance constructability and eliminate coordination gaps
• Reduce change orders and long-term maintenance costs
• Achieve energy code compliance and BECx certification

Our Facade Consulting Services Include:

• Peer review during schematic and design development phases
• Shop drawing, detail, and submittal reviews
• ASTM testing of facade systems
• Construction observation and field mockup evaluations
• Failure analysis, repair design, and retrofit recommendations

Case Study: Curtain Wall Redesign

Challenge: A mixed-use tower faced thermal bridging and air leakage due to complex facade geometry.

Solution: We performed hygrothermal modeling, reworked connections, and aligned design with envelope best practices.

Result: The tower met LEED envelope requirements and reduced energy costs by 22%.
