Recon Independent Assessments is uniquely positioned to provide a level of responsiveness that is hard to find in the Building Envelope Consulting community.

When unexpected leaks are reported the clock starts ticking.  Your client wants a solution and they want it immediately.  Often, the quicker you can have experts on site, the sooner you will control the narrative being written regarding your work and reputation.  By bringing in a third party, you'll establish your commitment to providing a resolution for the client in very visible and proactive terms.

Recon Independent Assessments understands the importance of clearly communicating findings to you, our client, and allowing you to manage the situation with actionable and accurate information.  We approach every project with our eyes wide open to ensure that we make observations based on the conditions that exist without allowing distractions to draw us away from the goal of finding the source of the building envelope failure.

Our time tested approach and vast experience in solving water intrusion issues for previous clients arms us with a keen understanding of how various details and construction are susceptible to problems.

Building Envelope Commissioning - Recon Independent Assessments

Recon consultants have been providing valuable testing and diagnostic examination on a multi building municipal government project in North Carolina.

By providing observations based on years of experience in design review and testing the owners of the complex have been provided with valuable insight into potential problems with the building envelope that were able to be addressed before the construction was completed.

By enabling the project team to pivot and address the issues, problematic details have been corrected to ensure that moisture intrusion does not occur after occupancy.










Recon Independent Assessments is available to provide Third Party Design Review, Consulting and Field Testing in support of Building Envelope Commissioning anywhere in the United States.
