Building Science Investigation
We find the cause, not just the stain — water, air, heat and moisture problems in existing buildings.
Building science investigations identify, diagnose and resolve performance issues in existing buildings, with a primary focus on the building envelope — the system that separates inside from outside.
Our work focuses on condominium and multi-residential buildings, where performance problems affect comfort, safety and long-term value. We combine visual assessment, diagnostic testing and data analysis to confirm failure pathways.
7+ years investigating envelope and performance issues in condominium and multi-residential buildings.
What we do
Water infiltration
Parking garages, basements and podium slabs.
Window & wall leakage
Joints, sealants and cladding interfaces.
Roof performance
Membrane failures and insulation wetting.
Comfort & condensation
Air leakage and insufficient insulation.
Material deterioration
Corrosion, cracking and efflorescence driven by moisture.
How we find it
How an engagement runs
Assessment & issue review
We review reported concerns, building documents and site conditions to set scope and objectives.
Site investigation & testing
Targeted inspection and diagnostic testing to verify suspected failure mechanisms.
Root-cause analysis
We separate symptoms from causes and confirm the failure pathway.
Reporting & remedial guidance
Findings, conclusions and repair options — plus tender preparation and QA during remediation if needed.
