We maximize the performance of the building envelope, working with design teams, developers, and contractors to develop solutions that achieve the aesthetic, performance, and durability goals of the project.

Entuitive’s Building Envelope team specializes in the complete enclosure of new and existing buildings, including cladding, glazing, roofing, and waterproofing. We collaborate with architects, developers, and contractors to design the building envelope from the early design concept phase through to commissioning.

What Makes Building Envelope Design Different at Entuitive?

We ensure that sound building science theory and building envelope expertise are applied to every project, large and small. Supporting our solutions, we apply computer simulations to test our ideas during design, and sophisticated field testing to verify performance during and after construction.

Our commitment to engineering performance means we use the most advanced technology platforms to design high-performance building envelopes within the project budget and schedule.

We balance many criteria, including aesthetics, function, constructability, cost, performance, and durability, when recommending appropriate solutions.
