Rehabilitation & Renovation
Water intrusion and air leakage, coupled with the natural aging process, can wreak havoc on buildings and repairs are often done piecemeal. With a deep knowledge of building science and experience with hundreds of buildings across North America, we work with you to identify the source of the problem from the outside in.
Our Process
We listen and help define a plan that fits your unique circumstances in collaboration with building owners, residential and institutional property managers, as well as contractors. Effective solutions may include replacement of specific components, full repairs or phasing to meet budget constraints.
It is our responsibility to outline the options, advantages, risks and costs inherent with your specific project. We also evaluate cost-effective architectural changes, energy efficiency measures and potential energy rebates.
We design and implement repairs of deficient elements that restore life and property value to once troubled homes and businesses. From wood-framed, low-rise buildings to steel and glass high-rise structures, our detailed design and construction documents ensure that wall, window, deck, roof and foundation rehabilitation is done right, within budget and with minimal disruption to occupants.
