Building Consultants Limited
*The First Dedicated Building Envelope Consulting Firm in the Lower Mainland* Since 1991 MHP Building Consultants Limited has been a specialized consulting practice that pertains exclusively to the design and performance of the walls, windows and roofs of buildings.
*Building Envelope Investigation*	*Resume*
MHP Building Consultants Limited has comprehensive experience with all types of contemporary wall, window and roof systems of residential, commercial and institutional buildings as well as with the assessment and restoration of historic masonry building facades. Building envelope investigations can be evaluations of specific assemblies such as joints, junctions and interfaces within and between building envelope assemblies and components or more comprehensive assessments of the various air, water, vapour and thermal barrier assemblies forming the building envelope.	Thomas Morstead, Principal
*Building Envelope Remediation*
MHP Building Consultants Limited has supported or evaluated millions of dollars worth of building envelope up-grading work. In recent years, all of this experience has pointed to the same conclusion: *Far less moisture-related damage to buildings has been found than recent conventional "wisdom" has predicted.* As an alternative to expensive and comprehensive building envelop retro-fits, we now, more confidently than ever, specialize in developing localized repair and up-grading of specific building envelope assemblies that emphasis building envelope conservation rather than rehabilitation.
*Technical Review*
MHP Building Consultants Limited regularly provides technical review services ranging from a *"second opinion"* of preliminary building envelope condition assessment reports to *"expert opinion"* and evidence at trial during building envelope-related litigation.
