Our Services
A building's exterior is its first line of defense against water, wind, heat, and time. Our engineers evaluate every layer of that defense: facade waterproofing, windows and doors, and roofing systems. We assess current conditions, estimate remaining service life, and identify what needs repair or full replacement before problems escalate. From there, we produce detailed specifications and drawings that give contractors clear direction and building owners a defined path forward. The result: an exterior system that protects the building's interior, extends its useful life, and reduces the risk of costly, unplanned failures.

How can Biller Reinhart help with building envelope consulting?
A building’s exterior is its first line of defense against water, wind, heat, and time. Our engineers evaluate every layer of that defense: facade waterproofing, windows and doors, and roofing systems. We assess current conditions, estimate remaining service life, and identify what needs repair or full replacement before problems escalate.

When should I call in a structural engineer for building envelope issues?
A structural engineer can help with building envelope issues during construction and throughout a building’s life. Some common envelope issues in Florida include air leakage at joints, which can increase HVAC load and indoor humidity, as well as moisture intrusion, among other concerns. If you notice HVAC issues or water infiltration in your building, an envelope consultant can help resolve concerns before they lead to more significant problems, like envelope degradation or decreased energy efficiency.
Does Biller Reinhart have a building-envelope case study that meets my needs?
With over two decades of experience, we have seen it all, and we have the case studies to prove it. We have earned the trust of major municipalities, government agencies, and well-known companies throughout Florida and beyond. Our licensed engineers and project staff handle structural challenges every day in Florida and eight other states. Please see our website at Portfolio – Biller Reinhart Engineering Group, Inc. to view our building envelope case study.
How do you determine if a building’s exterior needs repair or a full replacement?
To determine whether a building’s exterior requires repair or a full replacement, we conduct an assessment of your structure’s façade, including waterproofing, fenestration, and roofing systems. Then, we evaluate the remaining service life of each to inform repair-versus-replacement decisions and long-term capital planning.Â
Can you investigate and find the root cause of water intrusion or leaks?
Yes. We investigate water infiltration, deterioration, and material failure to identify root causes, not just symptoms.Â
