A proactive approach saves you time, money, and frustration. Learn more about existing building enclosure consulting or call to discuss your project.
Existing Building Project Consulting
Managing a commercial project takes more than hiring roofing contractors — it requires experience, oversight, and a clear plan. I help building owners, facility managers, and project teams navigate the process from bidding to closeout, ensuring quality results.
-
Bidding & Contractor Selection — Identifying and qualifying the right team for each scope of work.
-
Plan & Specification Creation — Making sure all project details are clear, coordinated, and actionable.

Contract & Conflict Resolution — Addressing issues before they escalate into costly disputes.

New Construction Enclosure Consulting for Owners, GCs & Architects
A well-built commercial roof and enclosure begins long before roof installations start. Whether you are an owner, general contractor, or architect, I work alongside your team to review plans, specifications, and materials, helping prevent design issues that lead to premature failure and expensive remediation.
-
Plan & Spec Review — Identifying design concerns before the project breaks ground.
-
Submittal Review — Ensuring materials and methods align with project requirements and code.
-
Quality Assurance Inspections — On-site evaluations to confirm correct installation at every phase.
A poorly designed or installed enclosure leads to premature failure. My role is to make sure your roofing and waterproofing hold up for the long haul. Learn more at frwconsult.com/new-construction-enclosure-consulting.
Roof Moisture Inspection & Roof Repair Plannin
Water is one of the greatest threats to a building's integrity. Emergency leaks and slow moisture intrusion can go undetected for months, causing hidden damage that is expensive to fix. I provide thorough moisture inspection and detection services to help identify and address problems before they escalate — whether you need a minor roof repair or a full remediation strategy.
-
Leak Investigation — Pinpointing active and hidden leaks in roofs, walls, and waterproofing assemblies.
-
Infrared & Moisture Testing — Using advanced tools to detect trapped moisture beneath the surface.
-
Repair & Remediation Planning — Developing a strategy to stop roof repair needs from compounding and prevent future damage.
If you are dealing with unexplained water issues or suspect moisture intrusion, early detection saves you from costly replacement. Learn more at frwconsult.com/leak-and-moisture-detection.
