PRACTICE
AREAS
BUILDING SCIENCE
Equipped with knowledge, experience and field testing capabilities, BEC can provide clients with a wide range of methods to better understand the cause of complex building enclosure failures or resolve challenging design conditions.
RESTORATION & REPAIR
We provide problem-solving strategies for long-lasting structures by utilizing our understanding of different types of building skins and structural systems, and how they interact with one another under our harsh environment.
FACADE ENGINEERING
We design new curtain-wall and cladding systems and evaluate the condition of many building facades and exterior wall components, such as: brick masonry, stucco and glazing materials.
ROOFING
Whether your roof system is a candidate for review, maintenance, repair, restoration, or replacement, BEC can design the proper solution to ensure the watertight integrity of your roof system.
CONDITION ASSESSMENT
We identify existing deficiencies, predict future system repairs and replacements and forecast the cost of facility maintenance and future capital expenditures.
LITIGATION
We perform as a testifying expert to assist the legal team throughout the case providing forensic evaluations, document review, calculations and analysis, cost estimating, etc.
BEC's Approach:
Listen. Investigate. Identify. Explore. Resolve.
We listen carefully to our clients, investigate the concerns, identify the problems, explore the available options and resolve the issues ensuring quality standards are met and cost-effective solutions are delivered.
Our experience with designing new construction and restoring existing buildings enriches our understanding of building systems and determining economical and practical ways to mitigate potential problems in complex structures.
