What We Do
Research, Analyze, Consult . . .
A Niche Firm
With special skills.
We are not a typical research & building enclosure consultancy. We are built differently. Our approaches are novel. And we have special skills.
Anyone can test products and assemblies; run WUFI analyses; and redline plans. But do they truly know what it all means? Have they taken the deep dive to know what really works and what doesn’t? And do they have the breadth of knowledge to offer relevant perspectives?
We know the industry. We know its tendencies and fallacies. We see these gaps as opportunities to make products and designs better. Innovation is not limited to patentable products or ideas. It is the essence of critical thinking and creative thought.

Enclosure Consulting
Here is where our skills culminate to achieve resilient building enclosures.
The aim – combine materials, design, and craftsmanship to resist the ravages of Nature. It begins by knowing the materials. We know which products work; which ones don’t; and which ones play well together. We also assist in the synergy of intelligent design where enclosure components are integrated to offer redundant safeguards, broad climate tolerance, and durability. Lastly, we offer our own brand of quality assurance. The kind that does not fail.
