From the investigation and restoration of historic buildings to the design of new, state-of-the-art cladding systems, our building science specialists are continually developing innovative and cost-effective solutions to meet our clients' needs.
RJC's retrofit services focus on the investigation and restoration of building envelopes, facades and historic buildings. We also devise repair and maintenance strategies for existing buildings that incorporate our clients' needs and budget constraints, while being sensitive to the impact of methods and materials on the building and its occupants.
In new construction, as members of the design team during the conceptual phase, we provide technical input to achieve an effective building envelope. During construction, we offer the technical assistance necessary for the successful completion of the project.
Our services in this area can include:
- Examination of existing building envelope systems
- Assessment of cladding, glazing, roofs, and plans
- Review of window and wall assemblies
- Development of repair or maintenance strategies
- Preparation of contract documents and tender services
- Construction review
- Contract administration
- Second opinions
- Litigation support
