BUILDING ENCLOSURES

We offer comprehensive building enclosure solutions. With years of experience and expertise, REI Engineers is committed to delivering quality solutions that meet the needs of its clients, whether they are designing new buildings or renovating existing structures.

ENGINEERING SOLUTIONS

Building enclosure systems (roofing, exterior walls, waterproofing, fenestrations) are crucial to ensure your facility functions as intended. Failures due to age, neglect or deficient materials or construction can present a myriad of issues, including life safety concerns. By using the latest technology and best practices, we strive to create sustainable, durable, and efficient building enclosure systems that protect against the exterior environment.

ROOFING

As with most building systems, a roof is generally forgotten until a problem occurs. At REI, we prioritize the importance of a sturdy roof system to safeguard building occupants and your property. With our team’s expertise in virtually every roof type and component, we tailor our approach to your unique needs, considering factors such as the building’s location, usage, maintenance capabilities, and budget. Whether you need an overall evaluation and repair suggestions for an existing system, are trying to identify a sporadic leak, or have decided to replace the roof, REI will collaborate with you throughout the entire process.

WATERPROOFING

Proper installation of waterproofing materials is crucial as repairs can be costly and disruptive to building operations. At REI, we specialize in designing a wide range of waterproofing systems for both horizontal and vertical orientations. Our expertise in the field is so highly regarded that we are frequently sought after for third-party monitoring of waterproofing installation.

With a rich history of providing waterproofing services, we understand the essential role it plays in the Building Enclosure, serving as an impervious barrier that prevents water infiltration under hydrostatic conditions. Waterproofing systems are commonly used to protect below grade structures such as basements, tunnels, planters, elevator pits and utility vaults but waterproofing systems also include the protection of buildings above grade such as parking decks, plaza decks and balconies where occupied space exists below. 

EXTERIOR WALLS

Building exterior walls are a vital aspect of any structure, serving as a shield from the elements, providing insulation, resisting air leakage, offering structural support, and enhancing aesthetic appeal. A well-crafted, installed, and maintained wall system is paramount to the durability of any building project. At REI, we possess the expertise to perform failure investigations, air leakage testing, hygrothermic modeling and analysis, as well as designing water and air barrier components in wall systems.

FENESTRATIONS

Traditionally, buildings were constructed with mass wall systems that had minimal openings into the structure. However, as building design and construction techniques have evolved, the ratio of openings to wall surface has significantly increased. Contemporary buildings utilize numerous fenestrations to allow daylight into the interior, ultimately enhancing the occupants’ environment. At REI, we specialize in analyzing and optimizing the design and performance of windows, doors, and other fenestration systems. Our goal is to enhance energy efficiency, durability, and overall occupant comfort.
