Building envelope restoration in Vancouver

Local building context

Vancouver's mix of heritage wood-frame homes, 1960s–80s multi-family buildings, and modern high-rises each present distinct envelope challenges — from failed rainscreen details on older reclads to complex transitions on contemporary panel systems.

The city's wet winters and mild shoulder seasons mean assemblies must manage sustained moisture exposure. We see recurring failures at deck-to-wall transitions, window perimeters, and below-grade waterproofing on sloped sites.
