Capabilities Building Enclosure Design Consulting

Building Enclosure Consulting

Gale’s Building Enclosure Consulting Group encompasses all facets of building enclosure consulting services from evaluation and field testing to design, remediation and construction quality assurance for the long-term performance of enclosure systems, components and assemblies—defined as walls, sealants, fenestrations, air barriers, curtain walls, plaza decks, roofing, and below-grade waterproofing. Our consultants provide expertise to identify failure and causation, and to determine options to ensure the building’s exterior meets performance requirements.

These components, systems and assemblies must be designed and constructed to provide water-tight, energy efficient, and sustainable solutions for new construction and building rehabilitation.
