Recon Independent Assessments = Building Envelope Consultants

Recon Independent Assessments continues to provide field quality control testing for water penetration resistance of newly installed windows, curtain wall, skylights, and storefront systems on new construction, however a larger portion of our work has grown to meet the needs of our clients; envelope consulting.

Recon Independent Assessments


From the design phase, Recon Independent Assessments has become increasingly involved in reviewing plans, shop drawings, specifications and submittals for many clients to ensure that a watertight building envelope is delivered on every new building.

Water Intrusion Investigation to Determine Source of Water From Tropical Storm Debby

Recon Independent Assessments spent the day examining a structure in Jacksonville today to determine the cause and origin of a water intrusion event caused by the wind and rain resulting from the stormy conditions caused by TS Debby.

Through the use of IR thermography and visual examination several areas were identified as intrusion points.

The contractor who requested the building envelope investigation is now well prepared to address the owners concerns.

Recon Independent Assessments draws from a deep well of experience and a practical approach to the evidence to uncover hard to find conditions that allow water to penetrate the building envelope.

Call today if you face a similar problem.  Recon is standing by to assist in repairing your storm damaged building.

Building Diagnostics and Installation Verification - Recon Has Been Busy Testing Statewide

Recon Independent Assessments was recruited to assist on a project in Boca Raton to help determine what failures existed in the building envelope in a two story multi unit business condo that were contributing to or causing water intrusion and associated damage.

After four full days of testing we were able to issue a written report of findings to help guide the engineer providing remediation recommendations.

Testing was performed in accordance to ASTM standards for building envelope evaluation testing.

Pre-construction meetings in Port St. Lucie were held to get an exciting new biomedical  facility underway.  Extensive building envelope inspections and window installation verification testing will follow.

In Ft. Pierce the IRSC campus is still growing.  An initial round of testing of installed fenestration has been completed successfully.

A walk through was performed in Jacksonville at UNF to help guide the installer there with what to expect in the future when testing commences.  The project team has contracted with Recon Independent Assessments to test 100% of the installed fenestration to ensure that water intrusion issues are avoided for the owner. There is nothing that says reputation for excellence better than a commitment to a vigorous testing program.

In Orlando, testing is ongoing on an OCPS project to test the installed operable windows and storefront to ensure that the systems have been installed to standard. 

Also in Orlando, field testing on the Federal Courthouse was completed successfully as well.

Despite the busy schedule, Recon is still seeking out more projects to be involved with.  If your upcoming project requires testing, let us know we're ready and able to provide your project specific proposal of cost.  No need to be sitting down when you get it, we're keeping it real.

Florida Field Testing, our sister company has been busy as well.

ASTM D5957 Guide for Flood Testing Horizontal Waterproofing Installations


Billions of dollars are spent annually to address leaking roofs, with damage ranging from minor water stains and electrical outages to complete structural failure of the roof.


The National Roofing Contractors Association estimates that up to 40% of flat roofs develop serious problems within one year of installation.


With the recent increase in "Green Building" and LEED Projects, the ASTM D-5957 is increasingly being specified to confirm waterproofing on areas of "live roofing". The prospect of finding a leak beneath a section of "live roof" is ominous and daunting.


A well designed system, applied correctly and tested effectively is the key to a successful project.

 We're here to assist you on your next project where the ASTM D-5957 is called for in the Project Specifications.
