About Drake Building Envelope 
Consultants

At our core, we specialize in protecting buildings from one of their most destructive forces: water.

Founded and led by a licensed Professional Engineer with years of hands-on building envelope experience, our firm expertly evaluates, diagnoses, and directs repairs for water intrusion and construction defects. We combine engineering analysis with practical field knowledge to deliver clear answers — not guesswork.

Our experience includes working with developers, commercial and residential property managers, large home builders to inspect defective envelope assemblies across stucco, siding, stone, and brick cladding systems. We have evaluated and directed repairs for:

  • Weather-resistant barrier and envelope wrap installations

  • Waterproof decks and balcony assemblies

  • Roof-to-wall transitions

  • Window and door water intrusion

  • Masonry and stone veneer systems

  • Siding and stucco failures

  • General construction defects leading to moisture damage

We understand how buildings are intended to perform — and why they sometimes fail.

Engineering-Led Investigation

Unlike standard inspection services, our assessments are engineering-driven. We evaluate assemblies not only for visible damage, but for root-cause failure. Every report is grounded in building science, construction sequencing knowledge, and practical repair strategies.

Our goal is simple:

  • Identify the source.

  • Explain the failure.

  • Provide a clear path forward.

No vague language. No unnecessary alarm. Just objective, technically sound conclusions.

Practical Experience Matters

Working alongside large production builders has given us a unique perspective: we understand how buildings are actually constructed in the field — not just how they appear on paper. That experience allows us to recognize common failure patterns and design repair solutions that are realistic, efficient, and durable.

  • Builders and developers

  • Property owners and HOAs
