The building enclosure separates the indoor environment from the elements. A robust understanding of materials, enclosure assemblies, and physical properties of liquid is required to effectively resolve many of the failures that plague today's buildings.

We understand that rainscreen systems, drainage planes, air barriers, and vapor retarders are critical components of a wall assembly and that their installation varies depending on climate.

Our unique understanding of the whole building sets us apart and enables us to provide technical assistance in a variety of ways. We have the expertise and skills to provide you with the best quality of service and ensure a smooth construction process.
