If you are a Roofing Contractor/Consultant, General Contractor, Stucco Contractor, Property Owner, or Property Manager seeking dependable building envelope engineering support, Prema Consulting Group is ready to deliver precise, coordinated, and permit‑ready solutions.
A roofing inspection typically focuses on identifying visible deficiencies or maintenance concerns. Building Envelope Consulting evaluates how roofing, waterproofing, façades, fenestration, flashing, sealants, and other exterior systems perform together to protect the building. Prema's engineering evaluations identify underlying causes of moisture intrusion and deterioration while providing practical, permit-ready solutions that support repair planning, bidding, and construction.
Hire a building envelope consultant when you see recurring leaks, moisture intrusion, roof or façade deterioration, waterproofing failures, or are planning major exterior repairs. Prema Consulting Group identifies the underlying cause and develops practical, permit-ready engineering solutions.
Prema begins with a detailed site evaluation of roofing, façades, waterproofing, fenestration, flashing, and structural interfaces. Our building envelope assessments combine moisture diagnostics, testing, infrared thermography, and engineering analysis to identify deficiencies and determine the right repair strategy.
A building envelope assessment may include roof and façade evaluations, moisture intrusion investigation, waterproofing review, water testing, infrared thermography, and documentation of failure mechanisms. Prema can then develop repair designs, specifications, and permit-ready drawings based on the findings.
Building envelope systems must comply with applicable building codes governing roofing, waterproofing, exterior walls, wind resistance, and related components. Prema designs building envelope repairs and replacements to meet the Florida Building Code (FBC) and applicable local jurisdictional requirements.
