Diagnosing Why Buildings Fail — and Designing the Fix
Water intrusion, air leakage, energy loss, and indoor air quality problems usually trace back to a specific assembly detail. We find it and specify the correction.

Diagnostics
- Building envelope modeling
- Roof and wall assembly assessment
- Infrared thermal imaging for hidden moisture, insulation voids, and structural concerns
- Waterproofing and drainage inspection
Ventilation and air quality design
- Ventilation systems design for humidity control and indoor air quality
- Ventilation effectiveness evaluation
- Tracer gas analysis for airflow and contaminant control
High-altitude specialty work
Buildings above 8,000 feet fail differently. Extreme temperature swings, long heating seasons, and severe vapor drive create crawlspace and envelope problems that standard details don't solve.
We design custom crawlspace retrofits for Telluride, Gunnison, Silverton, and Crested Butte — improving thermal performance, indoor air quality, and humidity control in conditions most firms never encounter.
