Building Envelope

  • Building Envelope Condition Assessment (BECA)

    Like the human skin, a building envelope separates the exterior conditions from the interior, maintaining comfort and protecting the structure of the building.

    BECAs provide insight into the condition of a building’s exterior roofing, cladding, windows, and other weather resisting systems, which are highly exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

    A BECA can allow you to plan for major renewals in a predictable way and identify immediate concerns, which if addressed in time can potentially prevent major repairs or safety hazards.

  • Targeted Investigations

    Do you have a water leak that occurs sporadically, with no discernable cause or pattern and no one seems to know where its coming from?

    Imperial engineers understand construction, which help us identify the source of the problem whether it’s from the building envelope, plumbing, structural condition, or a combination of factors. With our holistic approach we also know where to explore further with surgical precision so that every dollar you spend meets its target.

  • Design and Consulting

    We use as many generic solutions to common problems as we can get away with… so you don’t have to pay us to re-invent the wheel.

    While we choose the best tried and true solutions to deliver success for your projects, when unusual conditions require creativity, we thrive on being creative using established engineering principals to safely deliver an effective for your project.

  • Construction Management

    Successful construction projects are balanced by a combination of time, cost, and quality. Rarely does a project meet all three parameters without compromise, however having an experienced engineer on your project can provide great value on your investment. Our engineers can make sure that your project is designed to meet your goals, local building codes, and meets or exceeds industry standards in the places it matters most.

    We provide value in ensuring that your project is delivered in alignment with your valuable investment, and we can make sure that the you understand the budgetary and technical parameters of the project through every step of the way so you are always in control.

  • HVAC Penetrations

    Heat pumps can provide heating and cooling, and are becoming ever more popular with Strata properties. Heat pumps require We can provide design and guidance on these installations to ensure your building envelope stays intact.
