Building owners, architects, and contractors engage FCG when they need a consultant that fully appreciates the functional and aesthetic performance requirements for their building enclosures. The complexity of current construction projects often requires an objective and experienced expert devoted to helping you achieve the desired integration of the building enclosure control layers between different components and systems. Clients seeking to create resilient and energy efficient enclosures rely on FCG to verify the performance standards, durability, and functionality of their enclosure assemblies. The vision FCG provides is influenced by our previous investigations of enclosure problems and failures as well as numerous design peer reviews and practical experience.

The objective of Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) is to achieve an enclosure that meets the owner’s project requirements. FCG’s services help you achieve a high-performance and constructible building enclosure by working collaboratively with the owner, architect, and contractors. This verifies that established objectives for long-term durability, serviceability, and performance are maintained from the predesign through the construction phases.

FCG provides technical oversight during all phases of the commissioning process to verify that the design intent and owner’s expectations are achieved in the field. Quantifiable metrics for performance testing are implemented throughout design and construction to establish accountability. By turning to FCG, you receive a valuable partner in the multifaceted design and construction process, who will fulfill your building enclosure needs and expectations.
