The Building Envelope is a structure's first line of defence, acting as a barrier between the external environment and interior spaces. It comprises several critical components that ensure structural integrity, energy efficiency, weather resistance, and fire safety.

As a recognised and trusted building envelope contractor, we continually support BSA Duty Holders, Architects, Surveyors, Property Owners, and Managers with leading technical knowledge and capability to create a safe, sustainable and commercially viable property structure.
