What are the four control layers and why do they matter?
Water, air, thermal, and vapor layers must be continuous across the six-sided enclosure. Discontinuities at windows, balconies, and roof-wall interfaces are where most failures originate. We’ll explore detailing pitfalls in an upcoming post on Ideas.
How does BECx reduce risk for developers?
BECx creates a documented QA pathway from OPR to occupancy—design reviews, mock-ups, field testing, and final reporting—reducing change orders, warranty claims, and litigation exposure.
Do you provide test coordination and standards compliance?
Yes. We coordinate testing per ASTM standards such as E1105 (water), E783 (air), and D4541 (adhesion), and integrate results into closeout documentation.
What deliverables should owners expect?
Typical outputs include review comments, continuity diagrams, thermal bridge reports, test plans and results, field reports with photo logs, and final BECx or completion summaries.
How do you support budget and schedule?
Early peer review and coordinated details reduce RFIs; targeted testing prevents rework; and clear acceptance criteria streamline approvals and handover.
