Buildings that keep the water out.
Independent building envelope consulting, water testing and forensic investigation for owners, developers, contractors and attorneys.
Most building failures happen at interfaces, transitions and penetrations. That is where we look first.
Jackson Envelope Consulting is an independent building envelope firm. We pair building science with time in the field, testing the trade handoffs and the details that look fine on paper, then giving owners and project teams clear answers they can act on.

Where are you with your building?
What we found, and what it saved
All project highlights
Recurring storefront leak traced to a single sill detail
Calibrated spray testing isolated the entry point, so the repair targeted one detail instead of replacing the system.
77 suspect wet areas found on a resort roof
Owners targeted repairs instead of guessing.
Window test failure caught before drywall
The sill leak was fixed before it reached finished units.
