Recon Independent Assessments has the experience to provide consulting services on your project.

Our goal is to compliment the construction team by providing observations that stimulate results which lead to a successful completion of the building envelope.

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.
