Building
& Environmental
Consultants,
Inc. (BEC)
serves owners,
builders,
contractors,
suppliers,
insurers, and
the legal
community with
top technical
experts and
industry leading
testing
resources.
BEC maintains a
staff of experts
and
collaborators
from industry
and leading
universities.
We address all
building-related
issues,
including
building
facades, roofing
systems, wall
systems,
foundations,
windows and
building
fenestration,
curtain walls,
and interior
gypsum drywall
and plaster
systems.
We investigate
and identify
building
deficiencies
attributed to
design,
construction,
deferred
maintenance,
and/or owner
operation that
lead to problems
of building
distress, water
intrusion, mold
and rot, and
costly damages.
We provide
investigations,
problem solving,
design of
repairs, field
observation and
contract
administration
services for all
types and sizes
of buildings.
BEC’s
investigations
are thorough and
based on
scientific
methods that
utilize document
review, visual
inspection,
invasive
openings, field
testing,
material
property
evaluations,
codes and
standards
assessments, and
evaluation of
design,
construction
methods,
maintenance, and
building
operation.
When necessary,
laboratory
testing of
construction
elements is
utilized.
Testing, whether
in the
laboratory or
the field, is
performed under
realistic and
representative
service
conditions. We
also have the
capability to
employ modeling
and simulation
to assess the
hygrothermal
performance of
the building
enclosure.
We utilize
industry-leading
project
management
techniques based
on innovative
collaborative
procedures and
custom
Internet-based
tools. Each
project has a
password
protected web
site that
contains all of
the relevant
documents and
inspection
images, thus
providing all
parties (who are
provided with
permission)
access to this
information
without concern
about not having
the latest
versions. Time
and expenses are
also entered on
this site and
are available to
the client for
continuous
oversight of
costs and
progress if
desired.
