The building envelope, the physical barrier between the interior and exterior of a building, includes a myriad of components that combine to not only keep a structure standing but also regulate temperature and provide protection from the elements.

Professionals who possess expertise in building envelopes—known as Building Envelope Consultants (BEC)—can be incredibly useful to companies that build, repair and maintain properties, including #propertymanagement, #contractors, and #condoassociations.

BECs may serve as gatekeepers to new or existing construction projects by providing oversight for project conformance, maintaining the construction budget with the client, and all according to codes and specifications. Such projects involve many moving parts, and BECs have the knowledge and experience to discern problems and make recommendations that are in the best interest of clients.

Simply put, by hiring BECs like Barnes Consulting Group, companies can avoid costly mistakes and subpar work — and make the property manager’s life a whole lot easier.
