New construction.
The energy efficiency requirements of new construction are increasing - will your project comply?
Early coordination and input from your building envelope consultant is critical to ensure the building is designed with constructability and energy code compliance in mind. We strongly advocate to be part of the design process right from rezoning to ensure the design has necessary accommodations for required insulation. Early involvement with us as your building envelope consultant is one of the best ways to avoid costly and time-consuming late-stage redesign.

Wood Frame
Concrete High-rise and Low-rise
