"WJE’s multidisciplinary expertise and dedication to superior performance of the building envelope converge to deliver valuable, industry-leading enclosure commissioning services."
— Fiona Aldous, Principal
The complexity of today’s construction projects often demands an objective and experienced eye dedicated to helping the owner achieve the proper integration of the building’s components and systems. Clients seeking to create lasting structures rely on WJE to verify the performance values, efficiency, durability, and functionality of their projects. The unique insight we provide is the product of thousands of previous investigations of building problems and failures, numerous design reviews, and decades of hands-on field experience.
The objective of enclosure commissioning is to meet the owner’s project requirements. We help clients achieve a high-performance, fully integrated, and constructible building enclosure by working collaboratively with the owner, design team, and construction team. This verifies that established objectives for long-term durability, serviceability, and performance are maintained from the predesign and design phases through the preconstruction and construction phases, and after occupancy.
WJE’s experienced commissioning professionals provide technical oversight during all phases of the commissioning process to verify, through construction observation and attention to detail, that the design is achieved in the field. We implement quantifiable metrics for performance testing throughout design and construction to establish accountability. By engaging WJE, the client receives a valuable partner in the complex construction process—a partner who will represent the client’s interests and fulfill their expectations of high-quality service throughout the project and into post-occupancy.
