DESIGN ASSISTANCE

RosenBEC provides a variety of services to assist during the design process of building enclosure systems. Our insight helps the project design team comply with project requirements, while maximizing system performance and minimizing costs. These services include review of project design loads, structural calculations, finite element modeling, window system design,  and remedial repair protocol:
