Building envelope engineering concerns the design, construction, and maintenance of a building’s facade, roof, windows, and foundation. An effective building envelope (also called a building enclosure) seals your building against the elements, improving energy efficiency and comfort.
If you need to design a new structure or renovate an existing building, call ATS for a qualified structural engineer to meet your building envelope needs.
ATS engineers have experience with these building types:
- Industrial
- Office
- Retail
- Multi-family
- Warehouse
Building Envelope Design
Building envelope engineering begins with the design of a structure. ATS and our family of companies value a team approach to structural design, construction, and maintenance. Our expert engineers will collaborate with architects and general contractors to satisfy material, monetary, and aesthetic requirements.
Our engineers can use their education and experience to anticipate common weathering concerns to building envelopes, such as rainwater and UV exposure.
ATS also offers the following services before and during construction:
- Pre-construction and construction administration
- Design/build construction services
- Peer review

- Visual inspection
- Infrared imaging

Building Envelope Repair Consultations
Our engineers also inspect existing buildings that need repairs. If your building envelope has recently suffered damage, a professional engineer can assess your location for damage and help you design repair plans.
If you would like to add an extension or make renovations, our experts can help prepare renovation procedures to your specifications.
We offer consultation services to ensure safe renovations that meet new building code standards. Additionally, we help clients set up maintenance plans to extend material life, moderate the costs of repairs, and schedule regular evaluations to detect future concerns.
