Building Envelope Consulting
Enclosure details that perform on paper and on site — guided by our 8 D's of Detailing.
The building envelope — walls, roofs, windows, doors and foundations — is the primary barrier between interior and exterior. Getting it right is essential to durability, energy efficiency and long-term performance.
We provide design assistance, drawing reviews and on-site inspections focused on constructability, material compatibility and continuity of the air, water, vapour and thermal control layers. Our proprietary 8 D's of Detailing framework gives every project a consistent, repeatable approach.
Member of the Building Science Association of Ontario (BSAO, formerly OBEC); our engineers sit on BSAO committees.
